The Scottsdale Police Department, in collaboration with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Arizona Department of Transportation and National Traffic Safety Administration, will be conducting DUI enforcement during the St Patrick’s Day weekend. The Task Force will operate in the evening hours from Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17.
The purpose of the DUI Task Force is to contact drivers who have made the disastrous decision to drive impaired and remove them from the roadway before they hurt others or themselves. This will be done by conducting saturation patrols in different areas of the city.
DUIs are 100% preventable. and the results of DUI collisions can be tragic. If people plan on consuming alcoholic beverages or using recreational marijuana, we strongly recommend they also plan ahead to have a sober designated driver, use a ride-share service or a taxi to ensure they get home safely.
