Colorado’s The Heat Is On Summer Blitz DUI enforcement period is now underway, with law enforcement agencies increasing efforts to keep impaired drivers off the road.
Drivers can expect to see saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints throughout the weekend as officers focus on identifying and removing impaired drivers from Colorado roadways.
The enforcement campaign is part of an ongoing statewide effort to reduce alcohol- and drug-related crashes during the busy summer travel season.
Law enforcement officials are reminding motorists to plan ahead if they intend to drink, designate a sober driver, use a rideshare service, or arrange alternative transportation. They also encourage the public to report suspected impaired drivers when it is safe to do so.
Officials say the goal of the enforcement period is to prevent crashes, injuries, and fatalities by discouraging impaired driving and increasing roadway safety for everyone.
