JCSO and other local law enforcement agencies, will conduct a DUII patrol on New Year’s Eve, aiming to deter impaired driving and ensure safer roadways for all.
*This effort is made possible by grant funding from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).*
This collaborative effort will include the Oregon State Police, Medford Police Department, Eagle Point Police Department, Ashland Oregon Police Department, Phoenix Oregon Police Department, and City of Talent Police Department. Officers from these agencies will be working alongside deputies throughout the evening and into the early morning hours of New Year's Day.
The saturation patrol will focus on areas throughout Jackson County known for higher incidents of DUII arrests and crashes. Law Enforcement will be actively looking for signs of impairment, including:
• Erratic driving behavior
• Speeding
• Lane deviations
• Other traffic violations
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and its partner agencies remind the public that:
• Driving under the influence of intoxicants is illegal and carries serious consequences, including jail time, fines and license suspension.
• Even one drink can impair driving ability.
• If you’re hosting a party where alcohol will be served, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver.
• Always wear your seat belt—it’s your best defense against impaired drivers.
• If you see a suspected impaired driver, call 911 immediately.
This multi-agency DUII High-Visibility Enforcement Patrol is part of the ongoing efforts to reduce impaired driving incidents and promote traffic safety throughout Jackson County.
