The Douglas Police Department is currently participating in the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety of Southern Arizona DUI Task Force saturation details.  The DUI details are funded through a GOHS grant, which provides police officers with participating agencies throughout Arizona, an opportunity to work their “off-duty” time to help keep Arizona highways and streets safe from impaired drivers, said Marcus Gonzalez, spokesman for the Douglas Police Department. 


The Douglas Police Department/Southern Arizona DUI Task Force ended it’s first of several deployments, which ran from December 26th, 2008 to January 1, 2009. 

The DPD made 84 traffic stops, issued 58 citations, 29 warnings, 12 repair orders, conducted 10 Field Sobriety tests, and made 4 DUI arrests, one of which was an Aggravated DUI arrest. 

A total of 84.5 hours in overtime was worked with a $2,831.76 in task force money expenditure.

The DPD is planning to work several more saturation details/DUI deployments throughout the year.  Statistics of those details will be posted at the conclusion of each deployment.
