CHP officers to conduct three-day anti-DUI crackdown

by The AV Times Staff • December 30, 2022 1 Comment

[File]
An end-of-year crackdown targeting drunken and drug-impaired drivers in Los Angeles County will get underway Friday evening and continue into next week.

The California Highway Patrol will initiate its New Year’s “maximum enforcement period” at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 30, and the campaign will continue until 11:59 p.m. Monday, Jan. 2.

All available officers will be deployed to freeways, highways and unincorporated roads to catch impaired motorists, speeders and other traffic violators.

“Every year, people’s lives are impacted forever by making the decision to get behind the wheel while under the influence,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray said. “Driving impaired is never worth it and certainly not the way to ring in the New Year. Always designate a sober driver.”

The 2021-22 New Year’s maximum enforcement period netted 495 arrests statewide, compared to 709 arrests during the 2020-21 campaign, according to the CHP. The agency said that 29 people died in crashes investigated by the agency during last year’s campaign.

This weekend’s crackdown will coincide with year-end anti-DUI campaigns involving the LA County Sheriff’s Department and multiple municipal law enforcement agencies countywide.

Deputies and officers have been conducting saturation patrols and staffing sobriety checkpoints to catch intoxicated drivers. Operations will conclude early next week.
