L.B.P.D. DUI Saturation Patrol Proves Effective

On March 13, 2009, the Long Beach Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Section conducted a DUI Saturation Patrol throughout Long Beach from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. the following morning.  During the eight-hour operation, eight additional police officers patrolled the City looking for impaired drivers.

During the operation five people were arrested for DUI, six vehicles were towed, one person was arrested for an outstanding felony warrant, one person was arrested for an outstanding misdemeanor warrant, and 68 drivers were issued traffic citations.

DUI Saturation Patrols are a vital component in the fight against impaired drivers.  Nationally, impaired driving caused by alcohol and/or drugs causes one death every 30 minutes, and the average American has a 30% chance of being killed or injured by an impaired driver.  Saturation patrols have been proven to reduce impaired driving-related collisions by removing these drivers from our streets.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “When more people drive sober and safely, lives are saved.  It’s just that simple,” said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the Office of Traffic Safety.  “This grant will help make Long Beach just that much safer of a place to live and work.”
