PASADENA — Police are planning to swarm the streets of Pasadena in search of intoxicated drivers Friday during a “Zero Tolerance DUI Saturation Patrol,” officials said.

The enforcement campaign will take place between 8 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Saturday, Pasadena police officials said in a written statement.

“The Pasadena Police Department encourages people who are planning on consuming alcoholic beverages to select a designated driver prior to drinking or to simply telephone a taxi cab service for a safe ride home,” Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said.

Police also encouraged the public to call 9-1-1 to report drunken drivers on the road.

Funding for this program is being provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
