| Community: 177 DUI arrests by L.A. County policing agencies Sun-Mon. Avoid 100 Policing Agencies Hi Pepperdine Libboard, SUPER BOWL DUI CRACKDOWN – RESULTS
The Super Bowl DUI Mobilization crackdown on drinking drivers resulted in a significant number of DUI arrests from the sobriety checkpoints, special saturation patrols and routine patrols in Los Angeles County yesterday. From 12:01 AM Sunday, February 2 to 12:00 AM Monday, February 3, officers representing 100 county law enforcement agencies arrested 177 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Nine of these arrests were a result of a DUI crash causing great bodily injury to another person. (Note: These results are preliminary with some agencies yet to report.)
Law enforcement officials will be conducting more “Avoid the 100” DUI operations during St Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo and the Memorial Day weekend holiday. Police, Sheriff and the CHP encourage motorists to help law enforcement every day: Report Drunk Drivers – Call 9-1-1 anytime you encounter an impaired driver.
DUI checkpoints, along with regularly scheduled high visibility DUI enforcement operations, are proven strategies for removing impaired drivers from the road and heightening awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, sobriety checkpoint programs can yield considerable cost savings: $6 for every $1 spent.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
