The Salem Police Department will be continuing with specialized patrols to target those who are Driving under the Influence of Intoxicants. The overtime patrols shifts, funded by Oregon Impact and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), will continue to focus on the very dangerous issue of driving while impaired.

As an agency during the month of July, Salem Police Officers arrested 47 people for Driving under the Influence of Intoxicants, issued 110 citations for Driving with a Suspended License, 14 citations for Driving without a Seatbelt, and issued another 1160 citations and warnings for various other offenses.

The Salem Police Department and our partners such as Oregon Impact and NHTSA are committed to keeping our community safe through traffic safety enforcement and education.
