UPCOMING DUI! ENFORCEMENT
Tigard Police officers will be joining other agencies throughout the state in a high
visibility traffic safety enforcement focused on impaired drivers known as "Drive Sober
or Get Pulled Over."
The enforcement will run from August 19 — September 7 to coincide with the end of the
summer travel season and the Labor Day holiday.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 505 people were killed
in crashes during the 2024 Labor Day holiday across the U.S. Of those people, 170 (34%)
were killed in crashes that involved at least one alcohol-impaired driver.
We want to remind people that you can be charged with driving under the influence
(DUII) as a result of any substance that affects your ability to drive, not just alcohol.
Members of the Tigard Police Traffic Safety Unit conduct traffic safety missions
throughout the year, focused on a variety of traffic safety issues, including seat belts, car
seats, speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving and pedestrian safety. These
missions are made possible thanks to federal grants from NHTSA, administered by the
Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact.
