St. Patrick's Day increased policing!

Wednesday March 13, 2013, 9:53 AM LASD - HQ Newsroom (SHB), Los Angeles County Sheriff

Community: Avoid 100: Increased Policing in Los Angeles County St. Patrick’s Day Wknd (Mar.15-17) to Catch Drunk Drivers - LASD   News Release - From the Avoid the 100 Los Angeles County DUI Campaign Los Angeles County, CA — As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, the Avoid the 100 (law enforcement agencies) DUI Task Force Coordinators from all area law enforcement agencies are urging motorists to plan a safe ride home and never get behind the wheel drunk or drugged. During this holiday, police, Sheriff, and CHP throughout Los Angeles County will be on high alert, cracking down on drunk drivers as part of its Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over public safety campaign. “Drunk driving is dangerous, deadly and against the law – and it will not be tolerated in our communities this St. Patrick’s Day,” said Glendora Police Chief Castro, whose agency coordinates the Avoid 100 campaign. “Today we are giving fair warning to everyone traveling in Los Angeles County that our law enforcement officers will be out on patrol and if you are caught driving drunk, you will be arrested.” The Avoid the 100 DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Task Force will be deploying special roving DUI patrols and checkpoints this St. Patrick’s Day weekend (March 15-17) in several communities throughout the area, looking to stop and arrest drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs. The DUI patrols and checkpoint enforcement operations are in addition to regularly scheduled police officers working together to locate the tell-tale signs of an impaired driver behind the wheel. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that over 700 people were killed nationwide in crashes involving drunk drivers during St. Patrick’s Day holidays from 2006 to 2010. On average, every 51 minutes a person is killed in a drunk-driving crash in the United States and the majority of these crashes involve drivers who have a .15% BAC or higher, almost twice the legal limit of .08%. “Whether you are gathering with friends at the local pub or attending a local special event, if alcohol is part of the festivities, make sure you designate a sober driver to get you home safely, or contact your local sober ride program for a ride home,” said Castro. The Avoid the 100 DUI Task Force recommends the following easy steps to have a safe and happy St. Patrick’s Day: § Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin. § Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home. § If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation to get home safely. § Use your community’s sober ride program § Report Drunk Drivers - Call 911. § And remember, if you know someone who is about to drive a car or ride a motorcycle while impaired, take the keys and help that person make other arrangements to get to where he or she is going safely. The Task Force is funded through a grant by the California Office of Traffic Safety http://www.ots.ca.gov/ through the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration http://www.nhtsa.gov/ Forwarded by: Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau - Newsroom Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 323-267-4800 Email: SHBNewsroom@lasd.org Website: http://www.lasd.org LASD HQ Text and Emails: www.Nixle.com http://nixle.com/lasd----hq-newsroom-shb-los-angeles-county-sheriff/ Twitter: @LASD_News http://twitter.com/#!/LASD_News Twitter: @LASDtalk https://twitter.com/LASDTalk Twitter: @LASDvideos https://twitter.com/LASDvideos Facebook LASD HQ: http://www.facebook.com/LosAngelesCountySheriffsDepartment LASD Photos: http://pinterest.com/lacountysheriff/ LASD YouTube Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/LACountySheriff/videos?view=0 Partner to prevent or report crime by contacting your local Sheriff’s station.
