Three-Week DUI Crackdown Begins Friday

By:
Updated: April 17, 2007
Beginning this Friday, more than 100 city, county and state law enforcement agencies across Arkansas, will initiate a renewed enforcement operation along Arkansas streets and highways. It`s aimed at driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other intoxicants. The enforcement operation will be coordinated under a new promotional campaign entitled, "Drunk Driving: Over the Limit - Under Arrest." More than 16,000 people were killed nationwide in 2004 in highway crashes involving impaired drivers. Of that number, 269 were on Arkansas streets and highways. Traffic data shows 39 percent of Arkansas` crash fatalities in 2004 were alcohol related. North Little Rock Police Chief Danny Bradley is touting his department`s new tool designed to help apprehend impaired drivers. A highly visible sobriety checkpoint trailer is the latest addition to the arsenal of law enforcement personnel and equipment, purchased with funds from the Arkansas Highway Safety office.
