As families head out this weekend to observe the holiday they can help law enforcement by staying alert, driving the speed limit and moving over when you see someone stopped on the shoulder. Most of all though, if someone is impaired, do not let them get behind the wheel.

In an effort to reduce collisions and fatalities on Arizona’s roadways, the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS), along with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) will be teaming up to deter impaired, and other dangerous drivers that cause collisions. AZDPS will also focus on providing assistance to stranded motorists.

Beginning Wednesday, May 24, troopers throughout Arizona are targeting and arresting those with outstanding DUI warrants as a preemptive strike to habitual DUI offenders.

Troopers will also participate in multiple DUI task forces, DUI saturation patrols, speed enforcement operations, distracted driving patrols, seat-belt enforcement, aggressive and hazardous driving patrols and collision reduction patrols.

Commercial Vehicle Enforcement troopers will also be out enforcing state and federal regulations. Additionally, troopers and roadside motorist assistants will be on the lookout to help stranded motorists stopped on the side of the road.
