The Newberg-Dundee Police Department participated in enhanced traffic patrols during the month of December. The effort was funded through grants from the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact. The enforcement was focused to address distracted driving, speeding, and particularly driving under the influence of intoxicants over the holiday season. The effort resulted in 10 contacts for operating while using a mobile communication device, 115 contacts for speeding, and 8 arrests for DUII.
Similar enhanced traffic patrols will be conducted periodically throughout the year.
