Officers from the Concord Police Department will be conducting DUI saturation patrols between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
DUI saturation patrols will take place in areas with high frequencies of DUI collisions and/or arrests.
In 2017, 1,120 people were killed in alcohol-involved crashes on California roads.
Concord Police Department encourages drivers to follow these tips to avoid a DUI:
- Always use a designated sober driver – a friend who is not drinking, ride-share, cab or public transportation – to get home.
- See someone who is clearly impaired try and drive? Take the keys and help them make other arrangements to find a sober way home.
- Report drunk drivers – Call 911.
Funding for this DUI operation is provided to the Concord Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
