best dui cop in california
is an honor badge she will surely wear with pride: a Santa Barbara police officer is named "Best DUI Officer" in Santa Barbara County.
Christina Ortega netted 13 drunk drivers during the 19-day winter holiday crackdown.
The arrests took place as part of the "Avoid the 12" campaign, which is the interagency crackdown funded by the state's Office of Traffic Safety.
"This is an important achievement," said Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Deputy Win Smith, campaign coordinator. "Every single one of those 13 people could have driven a mile down the road and hurt or killed someone."
Authorities said they saw a 28 percent rise in DUI arrests during the winter campaign.
