Officers paid through a Governor’s Highway Safety Office grant charged 30 persons with DUI last weekend in the police department’s continuing DUI initiative using extra duty officers. These officers target impaired drivers Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. in areas with a propensity for fatal crashes, crime and DUI arrests.
Additionally, the DUI Unit charged 26 persons last week with driving under the influence.
Enhanced visibility on Nashville’s roadways and zero tolerance for impaired drivers are the cornerstones of the police department’s DUI initiative.
From December 27, 2008 through December 26, 2009, extra duty officers working under the grant arrested 2,000 suspected drunk drivers, an increase of 3% compared to the same time last year. During the same period, The DUI Unit arrested 1,696 suspected drunk drivers.
