The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety has awarded the Glendale Police Department a Driving Under the Influence Education and Enforcement grant through the DUI Abatement Grant Program.

The DUI Abatement Grant in the amount of $36,000, which runs until Dec. 31, will assist the Glendale Police Department in educating and providing officers with additional skills necessary in identifying and properly investigating DUI related cases and accidents.

GPD participates in DUI enforcement task forces throughout the year to educate and remove impaired drivers off our roadways and highways.

The grant will also assist GPD in funding additional officers and resources to participate in DUI task forces throughout the year.
