News Release
Average BAC in October Alcohol DUIIs was .16% - 11/05/19

The Beaverton Police Department is participating in a yearlong National Traffic Safety Campaign again in 2019. The focus of this campaign is taking impaired drivers off our streets, keeping Beaverton a safe city to travel and live.


Officers were out on targeted patrols for impaired drivers during the month of October and made 40 DUII arrests. During the month of December, officers will continue their efforts to take impaired drivers off the streets of our no refusal city. This High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) detail was paid for by grant funds from Oregon Impact and ODOT. Out of the 40 arrests, 10 people refused to take a breath test and a warrant for a blood draw was granted. Out of the people who were arrested for an alcohol related DUII and provided a breath sample, the average blood alcohol content (BAC) in their blood was .16%.


The highest BAC was .46% and the lowest BAC was .00%. 11 People had a BAC of .16% or higher. Of those 11 drivers, 6 had a BAC of .24% or higher.


Drunk driving, impaired driving or buzzed driving all have the potential to claim lives. The men and women of the Beaverton Police Department ask you to please use a designated driver or find another sober ride home.
