The Orange County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting DUI roving patrols in the Cities of San Clemente, Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano on Friday, May 9, 2008, according to a press release. The hours will be from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. The Tri-City DUI teams will target areas that have a high incidence of DUI related arrests and collisions. These roving DUI patrols and checkpoints, scheduled for a later date are part of a grant the Sheriff’s Department received from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety.
The goal of the program is to reduce the rate at which the citizens of Orange County are killed or injured in DUI related collisions. Through implementation of these events, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department hopes to significantly reduce deaths, injuries and property damage in each of our contract cities.
“Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.” Orange County Sheriff’s Department Deputies are committed to working hand in hand with their contract city partners in providing a safe environment for the motoring public.
