Through New Year’s Day
By Brentwood Police Department
The holiday season can be a dangerous time for people on the roads. In December 2021 alone, 1,013 people were killed in the U.S. in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Brentwood PD wants to remind the public of the dangers of driving impaired and celebrate the holiday season responsibly by not driving under the influence.
From December 13th through New Year’s Day, Brentwood PD will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The high-visibility enforcement effort is part of a national campaign, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over”, with the goal of stopping suspected impaired drivers who put others on the road at risk.
Brentwood PD encourages everyone to stay in for the night or have a “go safely” game plan by scheduling a ride or designating a sober driver if you plan to consume alcohol.
San Ramon Police Department will continue to conduct DUI enforcement throughout this Holiday Season.
Good news Brentwood/Dan Tamon PD. People drive crazy enough sober around San Ramon so adding Alcohol to the mix is asking for double trouble. I am by no means a goody two shoes but can say since “ growing up” I no longer get behind the wheel if I feel the least bit buzzed and I hope their are many out there just like me.
