High Visibility Drunk Driving Crackdowns
MADD supports twice-yearly drunk driving crackdowns and heightened law enforcement before high-risk periods – Labor Day and the December holidays.
Saturation Patrols and Sobriety Checkpoints
A saturation patrol is a concentrated enforcement effort that targets impaired drivers by observing moving violations such as reckless driving, speeding and aggressive driving among others things.
A saturation patrol is generally spread over a larger geographic area than a sobriety checkpoint.
Sobriety checkpoints are a technique where law enforcement officials evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment at specific points on the roadway.
