The Lincoln City Police Department plans on using the first of their 2023-2024 DUII Enforcement Grant funds during the up-coming Christmas / New Year’s holiday season. This time period is part of the national “High Visibility Enforcement,” which runs from December 13, 2023 through January 1, 2024. The national High Visibility Enforcement events are designed to increase the number of patrol officers on the streets nationwide with an emphasis on seeking out drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs and removing them from the roadways.
The holiday season is known for being merry and bright, but it is also a time when increased numbers of impaired drivers may be on the roadways. The Lincoln City Police Department is pleased to be joining forces with other law enforcement agencies across the nation to crack down on impaired drivers. Our goal is simple: to save lives and prevent injuries. Drunk driving is simply not worth the risk; if you drive drunk, or impaired you will be arrested. These grant funds are made possible through Oregon Impact and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
