The Long Beach Police Department's Traffic Division conducted a DUI Patrol last Friday which resulted in four drunk-driving arrests, the seizure of four vehicles and 75 citations, police said Thursday.
The operation ran citywide, from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday, and saw an additional nine officers patrolling city streets on the look-out for intoxicated drivers.
Impaired driving caused by alcohol or drugs causes one death every 30 minutes nationally. And the average American has a 30 percent chance of being killed or injured by an impaired driver, according to a police department issued press release.
Funding for the program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

If they really want to bust some firework setters, just hang around Hill and Pacific any night. They have already started shooting them off every night!!
re: DUI's in LB
the cops can do better than this. set up DUI /license + reg checkpoints around town.
the illegal alien activists are obviously why LB hasn't had a checkpoint anywhere south of PCH in over 7 years.
