News Release from: Washington Co. Sheriff's Office

Posted: June 28th, 2012 8:17 AM
Metro area Sheriff's Offices from Oregon counties in Clackamas, Marion, Multnomah, Yamhill, Washington and Clark County, Washington will be increasing their DUII patrols this 4th of July holiday. Deputies will be out in force working in a regional effort to identify and arrest DUII drivers.
The Sheriffs of these six counties have collectively agreed to target intoxicated drivers on their respective roadways with the goal of No Traffic Related Fatalities during the holiday. Through this collaborative effort, thousands of miles of roadways will be patrolled by deputies actively looking for impaired, dangerous drivers. After the holiday, a follow-up release will detail the combined actions taken by the deputies. Media are invited to ride along in the county of their choice.
The Sheriffs will continue this partnership to utilize combined resources to enhance public safety. They agree that combining resources with their surrounding Oregon counties will best assure that the mission of each office will be served.
The elected office of Sheriff is unique. By statute they are responsible for several areas of public safety that are critical, including running a jail, search and rescue, waterway protection and civil services.
Please visit the Oregon State Sheriff's Association website or any members of the coalition for more information on the office of the Sheriff.
