30 Police Agencies Target Drunk Drivers
More than 30 law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles County, including the California Highway Patrol, have joined forces to snare drunk drivers over the Memorial Day holiday in the largest such coordinated effort in the state.
The operation will set up drunk-driving checkpoints across the county and increase patrols.
The Los Angeles Police Department, various Sheriff’s Department stations and suburban police departments are involved in the effort.
“This is the first time anything like this has happened on such a large scale,” CHP Capt. Bill Kelley said.
