(It is going to be a long 4th of July Holiday weekend)….It starts Saturday and runs through July 5th.

The 4th of July will be next Wednesday. The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office says their ongoing traffic safety campaign, they will be conducting a DUI enforcement detail throughout the Independence holiday period. It is an effort to detect, stop and arrest alcohol and drug impaired drivers. Not only will deputies be increasing patrols throughout Yuma County, but they will also be targeting areas with a high rate of recurrence for DUI related collisions and arrests. The increased patrols are funded through a grant from the Arizona Governor's Office Highway Safety.
