The Portland Police Bureau’s Traffic Division is joining law enforcement agencies throughout Oregon and the rest of the country, by conducting increased impaired driving enforcement from now through Labor Day weekend (September 3-6).

The effort is dedicated to high visibility enforcement and DUI investigation to reduce roadway fatalities.

Since 1970, an average of seven traffic-related deaths occurred in Oregon each year during the Labor Day holiday weekend. Last year, two people died on Oregon roads during the 78-hour reporting period, September 4-7.

Each year, nearly 12,000 people die on our nation’s roads due to impaired driving.

Please see attached fact sheet for more information about the national program and impaired driving statistics.

Media ride-alongs are encouraged and can be arranged.
