Concord Police arrested four drivers on suspicion of DUI while conducting a DUI enforcement patrol on September 20.
Drivers charged with DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Concord Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or operating heavy machinery, which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
Funding for this DUI Patrol was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
It’s great that 4 suspected DUIs were apprehended. That may have saved a life or two.
However, 4 DUIs pails in comparison to the all day long threat of being hit by a “red light bandit”!
This seems to be issue of increasing frequency. Their selfish actions combined with other not so great driving performances puts everyone else in harms way. I drive to & from work in Concord and there is not a day that I don’t witness some dangerous & outlandish driving.
Why can’t CPD be more proactive with traffic enforcement? There was a time that motorcycle cops were patrolling the streets & doing a great job. What became of that? C’mon LEOs; help us out!
I 100% agree with the outlandish driving in Concord. Just yesterday I was waiting at the left turn arrow from Cowell onto YVR. I got the green arrow, and three cars in succession ran their red light starting about a second after I got the green arrow. It is insane.
I was unable to attend due to prior commitments. Hopefully our schedules can align at some point, but regretfully a combination of short notice and non convenient locality makes that unlikely.
That’s all great and wonderful while on the southern border fentanyl and human trafficking is happening but look over here at this shiny object the Democrats have lost 400,000 children but let’s talk about DUI’s wake up America before you don’t have America to wake up to
