Date and Time of Incident: 12/12/2017 4:30 PM

Location of Incident: Roseburg

Type of Incident: DUII Enforcement Patrols

Summary: Roseburg Police Officers will be participating in a traffic safety campaign focusing on DUII enforcement during the Christmas and New Year holiday season. Over the next several weeks there will be additional Officers working various shifts to specifically target DUII drivers. The Roseburg Police Department along with the Oregon Department of Transportation encourages all drivers to celebrate the holidays safely, and follow these tips:

* Even one drink can impair your judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk--or worse, the risk of having a crash while driving.
* If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Plan ahead; designate a sober driver before the party begins.
* If you have been drinking, do not drive. Call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member or use public transportation.
* Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel.
* If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone's life, and inaction could cost a life.

Remember, it is never safe to drink and drive: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
