The King County Sheriff’s Office and 16 other local law enforcement agencies will be participating in a DUI emphasis this Halloween weekend in King County.
More than 50 extra officers will be patrolling cities and unincorporated areas in King County looking for drunk drivers Oct. 28-30, according to a Sheriff’s Office media release.
Other agencies participating include the Washington State Patrol, Washington State Liquor Control Board and police officers from Bellevue, Black Diamond, Burien, Covington, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, Muckleshoot, Port of Seattle, Redmond, SeaTac, Seattle and Shoreline.
The State Patrol Mobile Impaired Driving Unit (MIDU) will be operating to support law enforcement with DUI processing. MIDU officer staff process impaired drivers in a faster manner to allow patrol officers to return to the road.
King County law enforcement reminds everyone to choose a safe ride to help keep our roads safe this Halloween weekend.
Funds for the emphasis have been provided by the King County Council and Washington Traffic Safety Commission Target Zero program.
