Roseburg Police Officers will be participating in a traffic safety campaign focusing on DUII enforcement during August and September. There will be additional Officers working shifts to specifically target DUII drivers. This enforcement campaign was made possible through a grant received from Oregon Impact and the Oregon Department of Transportation. The Roseburg Police Department, along with the Oregon Department of Transportation, encourages all drivers to plan ahead, and follow these tips: * Even one drink can impair your judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk–or worse, the risk of having a crash while driving. * If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Plan ahead; designate a sober driver before the party begins. * If you have been drinking, do not drive. Call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member or use public transportation. * Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel. * If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone’s life, and inaction could cost a life. Remember, it is never safe to drink and drive: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
