Florence Police received $5,000 in grant funding from Oregon Impact, administrators of DUII funding in Oregon, to provide additional enforcement during the holidays. “It helps us keep additional patrols on the street to catch drunk drivers during the Christmas, New Year and Fourth of July holidays,” said Lt. John Pitcher. From the beginning of December through the end of the New Year holiday period on Jan. 5, Florence police officers made five DUII arrests. That is down from seven arrests in the same period the previous year. LCSO counted 10 DUII arrests, two reckless driving arrests, and 45 related citations from Dec. 12 through Jan. 1. “This crackdown on DUII driving was in conjunction with a nationwide blitz to reduce the number of crashes and incidents associated with driving under the influence of intoxicants,” said the LCSO in a January press release. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) pro- vided specific grant funds for LCSO to staff overtime patrols. “Without the grant assis- tance from ODOT, adminis- tered by the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association, LCSO would not have been able to provide the extra patrols work- ing to reduce the injury and incidents associated with drunk driving and driving while impaired,” the sheriff’s office said. Oregon State Police troopers reported an increase in the number of DUII arrests statewide. From 6 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2014, through 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 1, 2015, state troopers arrested 37 drivers for driving under the influence of intoxi- cants. That is up from the 29 drivers arrested during the New Year holiday the previous year. The Florence Police Department reminds drivers to “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” The drunken driving prevention campaign prevents crashes, injuries, and deaths related to driving under the influence of intoxicants.
