News Release
Sheriff's Office Looking for Impaired Drivers this Holiday Weekend - 05/22/19

Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office will be providing extra patrols over the Memorial Day weekend to keep impaired drivers off the road.

In addition to the extra patrols looking for drunk or high drivers, deputies will also be looking for drivers that are speeding, following too closely, and distracted drivers using mobile phones or other devices.

This weekend’s enhanced patrols also coincides with the national seat belt enforcement campaign “Click It or Ticket” involving law enforcement agencies across the nation.

During holiday weekends, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office typically responds to numerous traffic-related incidents that could have been avoided.

Deputies would like to remind the public to designate a sober driver, slow down, avoid distractions, and allow adequate following distances.

This weekend’s enhanced patrols are in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office would like everyone to have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.

The results of the enhanced patrol will be provided after the holiday weekend.
