Saturation patrol yields DUI arrests

The Southeast-James-town Regional DUI Task Force participated in the new Regional DUI Task Force program in North Dakota. They made five driving under the influence arrests and 65 other significant arrests during the recent unified saturation patrol effort.

Twelve law enforcement agencies in the Southeast Jamestown Region participated in the second quarter of this new program. By working together to create high visibility enforcement, early results show a positive impact on deterring motorists from drinking and driving. During the second quarter enforcement period, which was conducted on March 18 and 19, there were zero impaired driving crashes and zero fatalities in the region. These statistics emphasize the importance of enforcement and saturation patrols in protecting motorists on North Dakota’s roadways.

This task force began on Oct. 1, 2010, in order to take significant steps towards reducing alcohol-related crashes and fatalities across the state.
