Beginning Friday evening, August 29th, 2014 and continuing through the Labor Day Holiday weekend, the Southern Oregon DUII Taskforce, comprised of officer from coastal law enforcement agencies, Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Coos Bay Police Department, North Bend Police Department, Coquille Police Department, and Florence Police Department will be out in force enforcing motor vehicle laws. Officers will be concentrating on drivers that may be under the influence, but also will be joining with those officers already out enforcing safety belt violations under the 3 Flags Seat Belt Campaign. Officer from law enforcement agencies all over the South Coast will be out in force every night over the holiday weekend, deployed under federal grant fund dollars that have designated Labor Day weekend a “High Visibility Enforcement” campaign. The Southern Oregon DUII Taskforce would like to invite everyone coming to the Oregon Coast to have a great holiday weekend. If you will be enjoying a drink over the weekend or use any intoxicating substance and plan to travel, use a designated driver, be safe.
