ENFORCEMENT efforts by Garden Grove police led to 35 DUI arrests in December and no fatal accidents (Shutterstock).
Thirty-five motorists were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs by Garden Grove police in December.
“We are committed to taking a proactive approach by taking impaired drivers off the road,” said Chief Amir El-Farra. “Driving under the influence is dangerous and has major consequences.”
The month of December historically has the highest number of injuries, fatal- and DUI-related collisions. By combatting this using a variety of different enforcement efforts, including DUI saturation patrols, street racing operations, and a sobriety checkpoint, there were no fatal collisions in Garden Grove in December 2022.
Most of the funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
