The Portland Police Bureau is teaming up with the Oregon State Police and other partner agencies from across the metro area to conduct a DUII mission this weekend. The operation will begin Friday, July 26, 2024 and run through Sunday, July 28, 2024 due to numerous events in Downtown Portland.

PPB and its partners encourage people to drive safely and drive sober. Each year, law enforcement personnel respond to preventable collisions that can deeply impact those involved, their families, and loved ones. All road users are encouraged to avoid actions that might lead to a collision, including impairment, speed, distraction, and disobeying signals.

PPB would like to remind the public that drug-impaired driving is just as dangerous (and illegal) as alcohol-impaired driving. Officers will be taking a zero tolerance approach to all forms of impaired driving. Drink responsibly and remember buzzed driving is drunk driving.
