100 Days of Heat DUI Crackdown Begins

Colorado Summer Long DUI Crackdown Begins

The Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies across the state kicked off the 100 Days of Heat Campaign on May 27th. The extensive DUI crackdown will extend from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. During this time law enforcement agencies throughout Colorado will have increased officers on patrol and conduct DUI sobriety checkpoints with the goal of decreasing the number of intoxicated drivers during the summer holiday season.

More than 65 Colorado law enforcement agencies will participate in the 100 Days of Heat DUI Crackdown. These agencies will work overtime to increase the number of patrols and conduct over 150 DUI sobriety checkpoints in areas across Colorado identified as DUI hot spots. Last year officers made over 3,500 DUI arrest during the 100 Days of Heat Campaign.
