As part of the community’s ongoing effort to reduce alcohol-related collisions and discourage impaired driving, the Santa Monica Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence saturation patrol on Saturday, May 21, 2005.

 

The saturation patrol is part of a comprehensive strategy to keep teens safe and sober and to save lives. Over 59% of fatal car crashes among teens involving alcohol or other drugs happen during prom season.

 

The saturation patrol is part of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws grant and is funded in cooperation with State of California, Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, Office of Traffic Safety and the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

The Santa Monica Police Department and Santa Monica Against Underage Drinking urges teens to: “STOP! THINK! DON’T DRINK!” 

 

Drive Safe…Drive Sober…And Buckle Up.
