Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers will patrol the streets of Long Beach on Saturday to stop and arrest alcohol and drug-impaired drivers.

The DUI saturation patrol will take place between the hours of 7PM and 3AM in areas with high frequencies of DUI collisions and/or arrests, police said.

“After falling dramatically for five straight years, figures for 2012 show an increase to 802 deaths in California because someone failed to designate a sober driver,” the LBPD said in a statement. “Over the course of the past three years in Long Beach, DUI collisions have claimed nine lives and resulted in 315 injury crashes, harming 420 of our friends and neighbors.”

Funding for the program was provided from a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
