As specially disabled driving enforcement patrols continue for the New Year holidays in Yabapai County, the Yabapai County Sheriff’s Office is strongly encouraged that citizens celebrate responsibly.

YCSO hosted the Tri City DUI Task Force before Christmas, joined Cottonwood PD and five other agents over the weekend to participate in the details at Verde Valley, and received more than 20 quotes and arrests. He has participated in a variety of multi-agency executive forces, including the result. .

The Arizona Governor’s Highway Safety Administration (GOHS) recently funded YCSO for three different uses. The $21,000+ grant funds the Tri-City DUI Patrol, part of a program aimed at reducing the incidence of alcohol-drug-related driving deaths and injuries on local streets and highways. It was sent to do so. The program uses enforcement, education and public awareness to convey the message.

The second Gohs grant, which exceeds $20,000, will be used to investigate serious fatal accidents, but an additional $15,400 was provided to fund the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). For such dangerous behavior.

Sheriff David Rhodes thanked Goes for his fundraising. He says it will help keep Yabapai County roads safe for residents and visitors as well. He also urged every New Year celebration to have a designated driver or use taxi or ride service and remember to “get a DD, not a DD.” .
