100 Days of Heat DUI Campaign Still Active

While the Colorado 100 Days of Heat campaign usually only gets attention around a holiday, motorist in Colorado Springs were reminded that the 100 days are still counting. On Friday night and Saturday morning the Colorado Springs Police Department, Colorado State Patrol and other agencies set up a DUI sobriety checkpoint in central Colorado Springs. Officers contacted over 1,000 drivers during the four hour operation and made 11 arrests during the checkpoint that ran from 10:30 pm on July 16th through 2:30 am July 17th.

The Colorado Department of Transportation is helping to fund the 100 Days of Heat campaign throughout the state of Colorado.
