The Colorado Department of Transportation Reports Fewer DUI Arrests and DUI Fatalities During the 100 Days of The Heat is On Campaign
CDOT is reporting that between Memorial Day and Labor Day 2010 there was a 5% decline in the number of DUI Fatalities and a 12% decrease in DUI Arrests throughout Colorado. 47 people were killed in alcohol related accidents over the enforcement period this summer and 3,111 people were arrested for driving under the influence during this same time frame. These numbers are preliminary but officials hope that they are a sign that the enforcement efforts are getting the word out to not drive drunk in Colorado.
Law Enforcement agencies across the state participated in the 100 Days of Heat dui enforcement campaign which resulted in 651 DUI arrests during the Memorial Day weekend alone. 591 people were arrested for DUI during the 4th of July enforcement period and 297 people were arrested during sobriety checkpoints. Colorado Law Enforcement agencies also participated in the national DUI crackdown between August 20th and September 7th which resulted in 1,650 additional DUI arrests.
