RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KESQ) – California Highway Patrol officers will ramp up operations again beginning Wednesday night to crack down on drunken and drug-impaired motorists throughout the Inland Empire and statewide as part of a New Year’s anti-DUI campaign.
The CHP will initiate its New Year’s “Holiday Enforcement Period” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, when all available officers will deploy to catch impaired motorists, speeders and other traffic violators. The campaign, which replicates a 30-hour HEP that occurred during Christmas, will continue until late Thursday night.
“We’re entering a New Year, but our message stays the same: Driving under the influence increases the risks on our roads, raises the chance of a crash and puts lives in danger,” CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee said. “We encourage everyone to do their part in keeping our roads safe by making responsible choices behind the wheel.”…
