Officers paid through a Governor’s Highway Safety Office grant charged 60 persons with DUI last weekend in the police department’s continuing DUI initiative using extra duty officers. These officers target impaired drivers Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. in areas with a propensity for fatal crashes, crime, and DUI arrests.
Additionally, the DUI Unit charged 41 persons last week for driving under the influence.
Enhanced visibility on Nashville’s roadways and zero tolerance for impaired drivers are the cornerstones of the police department’s DUI initiative.
So far this year, extra duty officers working under the grant have arrested 399 suspected drunk drivers; the DUI Unit has arrested 279 suspected drunk drivers.
