The holiday season is here and the San Luis Police Department will be conducting traffic (STEP) and DUI enforcement details every weekend for the month of December including Christmas eve and New Years eve. The SLPD officers will provide enhanced traffic and DUI enforcement in support of a grant awarded by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS).
The objective of the traffic enforcement program is to reduce the number of vehicle collisions and the resulting injuries and fatalities through increased highly visible enforcement. Police officers will focus on seatbelt violations, impaired driving, speeding, use of electronic devices while driving and pedestrian safety. Increased patrol efforts will be focused throughout different areas in the City of San Luis. We remind motorists and passengers it only takes a second or two to fasten a seat belt. A seatbelt could help save your life. With the holiday celebrations around the corner, the SLPD would like to remind citizens to plan ahead if going out. If you are hosting a party, keep yourself and others safe. If you are drinking this holiday season, give yourself the gift of a designated sober driver.
Please report suspected DUI, reckless, and unsafe driving to the San Luis Police Department at (928) 341-3420 for non-emergencies, 911 for emergencies or 78-Crime at 782-7463 to remain anonymous. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
