DUI Cops in San Diego step up holiday busting
SAN DIEGO California DUI criminal defense attorney news
To get drunken drivers off the roads during the holiday season, San Diego police will step up DUI enforcement.
“We'll be sending out three saturation patrols to Pacific Beach, downtown and Mid-City areas,” said Officer Mark McCullough. “We want to get the word out that we'll be out and about this holiday season.”
Each patrol of five or six officers and a sergeant will patrol from about 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday.
“We want to let people know we are serious about DUI and alcohol enforcement,” McCullough said. “Our primary way of getting (the word) out is through education and enforcement.”
The San Diego Police Department has two grants that fund anti-DUI efforts – “Avoid the 14” and “Arrive Alive.”
Avoid the 14 is a county-wide grant, and Arrive Alive money comes from the California Highway Patrol.
Both grants are paying overtime for the officers involved in tonight's patrols.
