It’s that time of year again. Time to eat, drink and be merry… and a significant increase in Colorado DUI patrol. During the 2010 Holiday season, 1,556 people were arrested in Colorado for Driving Under the Influence, and 14 of Colorado’s 41 fatal injuries during that time period happened in alcohol related accidents. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is partnering with MADD’s “Tie One on for Safety” red ribbon campaign for the 2011 Holiday DUI crackdown.
A special Colorado Heat is On DUI crackdown for the Thanksgiving week began Tuesday, November 22 and will continue through Monday November 28. The Colorado State Patrol and more than 80 other law enforcement agencies will increase DUI patrol during this weekend. Many of these police agencies will have additional officers designated specifically for DUI enforcement.
