Task Force in Cochise County the weekend of April 3-4.

“The task force with be conducting saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints throughout Cochise County,” Capas said. “Beginning with this public service announcement and continuing thorough the increased patrols, efforts will be made to deter the impaired driver and reduce alcohol-related collisions in hopes of saving lives.”  

Officers from participating local, county, and state law enforcement agencies will be working in concert to make the citizens safer and protect them from the dangers of impaired drivers. 

Sheriff Dever reminds anyone who drinks to not drive.
