In Oregon, driving under the
influence of alcohol and drugs
has claimed the lives of more
than 2,100 individuals and in
jured over 20,000 people in the
past decade. Continuing efforts
to combat this problem, the
Oregon State Police have
joined traffic safety partners in
the state and around the nation
as they work to increase
awareness and remove im
paired drivers from the high
ways.
“Impaired driving has a dev
astating effect on our commu
nities,” said Captain Peter
Spirup, Director of the OSP Pa-
trol Services Division. “With the ally during the same year,

cooperative enforcement ef killed as a result of alcohol-re
forts of law enforcement in our lated crashes and more than
state, and the help of several 300,000 were injured. That’s
