— from Sheriff Rob Nou via Undersheriff Bruce Distler —

Beginning today and continuing through September 1, 2014 the DUI Emphasis Patrol will be in full swing.

Deputies throughout the county will be attentive to driving behavior consistent with impairment, making traffic stops to assure the safety of everyone who uses our roadways.

Driving under the influence of Alcohol and/or Drugs poses a danger to both the driver and others on or near the roadway.

Please be safe and sober on our roadways.
