Law enforcement focusing on DUIs

The Avoid the 6 DUI Task Force is deploying officers this holiday weekend at DUI saturation patrols throughout El Dorado County to stop and arrest drunken or drugged drivers, and heighten awareness of the deadly impact alcohol and drugs can have.

Additional officers will deploy to stop and arrest those who drive impaired by either alcohol and/or drugs.

Extra patrols will be in Placerville, South Lake Tahoe and the unincorporated areas in county.

Funding for the Avoid DUI Task Force is by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
