Police stepping up DUI patrols this weekend

Date: April 7, 2017

The Orange County Sheriff's Department's DUI Enforcement Team will deploy this weekend to stop and arrest alcohol and drug-impaired drivers from 7 p.m. Friday, April 7 through 3 a.m. Saturday, April 8 in Mission Viejo and Lake Forest.

High-visibility enforcement using DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols has proven to lower the number of people killed and injured in alcohol- or drug-impaired crashes.

Drivers are encouraged to download the Designated Driver VIP, or "DDVIP," free mobile app for Android or iPhone.  The DDVIP app helps find nearby bars and restaurants that feature free incentives - non-alcoholic drinks and appetizers - for the designated sober driver.  The app also has social media tie-ins and a tab for folks to call Uber, Lyft or Curb.

Report drunk drivers by calling 9-1-1.
