Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

The Lake Forest Park Police Department is supporting the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign over this and the next two weekends. Additional officers will be staffed using State Funded Overtime dollars to supplement current patrols focusing on impaired driving.

 

Impaired driving is a leading factor in Washington traffic deaths. We’re working with other area law enforcement to keep alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers off the roads. Washington wants to increase impaired driving arrests, improve prosecution, set up more DUI courts, and promote the use of ignition-interlock devices. In Washington State, impaired driving is defined as:

• driving while under the influence of drugs,
• driving while impaired by alcohol, or
• driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or above.
