Thanksgiving DUI Task Force
Through grant funding made possible by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, the Prescott Police Department will participate in DUI saturation patrols in conjunction with the Thanksgiving weekend as part of the Tri-City DUI Task Force. As part of a sustained effort to combat impaired driving, extra enforcement will occur on Friday November 24th, 2023, and continue throughout the weekend.
The Tri-City DUI Task Force will continue to conduct high profile details throughout the year and would like to remind motorists that driving impaired is never worth the monetary loss or the physical and emotional devastation that can be caused by simply making that bad choice to drive impaired.
Please drive sober, designate a driver, or call a taxi to stay safe.
