Redmond Police Department to participate in DUI patrols


November 13, 2012 · 1:20 PM

As the Washington Traffic Safety Commission announces the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” holiday campaign, director Darrin Grondel urges drivers to plan ahead. “Don’t let a DUI ruin your holidays. Before you leave home for a holiday party, think about how everyone can get home safely. Designate a sober driver, take a taxi, stay the night.”

As part of the campaign, extra officers will be canvassing roadways between Nov. 21 and Jan. 1 throughout King County searching for impaired drivers.

The Redmond Police Department will be among 27 departments, along with the Washington State Patrol, who will participate in Washington state’s first-ever "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign.

The King County Target Zero Task Force organizes and supports this enforcement effort.
