ENDUI Saturation Patrols Planned For This Weekend

Posted in:

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol ENDUI team will partner with law enforcement agencies across the state to conduct saturation patrols in conjunction with the Fourth of July weekend.

The goal is simple: to make Oklahoma roadways as safe as possible by getting impaired drivers off the roads.

In 2021, 407 people were killed in drug and/ or alcohol-related crashes in Oklahoma. None of these crashes were accidents; every death could have been prevented if the impaired driver had made the smart choice not to drive while under the influence.

Everyone is highly encouraged to find a safe ride by calling a sober driver, using a cab, Uber, Lyft or any other ride-share service. Better yet, have a designated driver. Have fun and enjoy life, but do not, under any circumstances, drive while impaired by alcohol or any other substance.

The ENDUI enforcement team coordinates multi-jurisdictional events on a regular basis, including sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. These efforts are needed to impact Oklahoma’s impaired driving problem across the state. The locations of these activities are driven by data from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office and by local request.

The ENDUI Oklahoma program is a program of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office and is funded through impaired driving grants from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
