The Oregon City Police Department participated in the statewide High Visibility DUII Enforcement (HVE) program during the past Holiday season. (December 13, 2018 – January 2, 2019) During the HVE period we worked 7 ½ hours. We arrested one DUII for Alcohol, issued one speed warning, and issued 7 other warnings.
OCPD utilized overtime officers that are specifically tasked with identifying and arresting impaired drivers in order to reduce the number of drug/alcohol related traffic incidents within or near Oregon City.
This grant allows officers to conduct extra targeted enforcement of DUII drivers. The mission’s goal is to keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe throughout Oregon. High visibility enforcement, increasing the number of officers on the streets who aggressively seek drunk drivers, are designed to deter people from driving after they have been drinking. We want to remind everyone there are many options for transportation (Designated driver, Taxi, Uber, Lyft, Tri-Met), which will get you home or to your next destination safely rather than taking the chance of driving under the influence of an intoxicant.
OCPD will be participating in future HVE periods throughout the upcoming year.
