Labor Day DUI enforcement patrols under way
BOISE - Don't make the wrong decision and choose to drive impaired this Labor Day weekend because Idaho law enforcement agencies have stepped up patrols through Sept. 3 searching for and arresting impaired drivers, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
"No matter what you drive - a passenger car, pickup, sport utility vehicle or motorcycle - if you're caught driving impaired, you will be arrested," said Kevin Bechen with ITD's Office of Highway Operations and Safety.
Officers expect to arrest more impaired drivers through increased patrols statewide and make the holiday weekend safer for motorists. Overtime costs for the additional enforcement patrols are covered by a grant from ITD.
