The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office is participating in a DUII enforcement overtime grant this holiday season. The grant is funded through the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and administered by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Its goal is to reduce instances of people driving under the influence of intoxicants this holiday season by high visibility enforcement, and decrease the number of fatalities and injuries that occur from impaired driving. The Sheriff’s Department will be increasing patrols and have deputies dedicated to searching for impaired drivers. Anyone who sees someone they suspect is driving while impaired is asked to call the Hood River County Sheriff’s Department at 541-386-2711 or 9-1-1.
