DUI enforcement campaign planned in Pasadena this weekend
PASADENA -- Police will be out in force looking for drunken drivers during an extra enforcement campaign Friday, authorities said.
The "Zero Tolerance DUI Saturation Patrol" will begin at 9 p.m. Friday and run through 3 a.m. Saturday, Pasadena police officials said in a written statement.
"The Pasadena Police Department encourages people who are leaving home and planning on consuming alcoholic beverages to select a designated driver prior to drinking, or to simply telephone one of the many taxi cab services for a safe ride home," the statement said.
Funding for the extra patrols is being provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
