Oklahoma Highway Patrol Makes a Splash with 129 DUI Arrests—Cheers to Safety!

As the holiday season wrapped up, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol took strong measures to keep the roads safe. They conducted 21 events, which were primarily part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. Out of these events, which included eight ENDUI checkpoints and several saturation patrols, they made a remarkable 129 DUI arrests.

This kind of enforcement is crucial during a time when celebrations can turn dangerous for those who choose to drink and drive. Officials emphasized that driving under the influence is always a choice, urging everyone to think responsibly and consider safe alternatives like taxis and ride-share services. Additionally, the collaboration among law enforcement agencies highlights the importance of teamwork in reducing impaired driving incidents.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol also expressed gratitude towards their partners in law enforcement for their teamwork during this campaign. After all, making our communities safer is a shared goal, and it’s one that takes every driver on the road to accomplish! So, if you’re headed out for a celebration, remember that staying sober and responsible is the best way to enjoy the festivities—unless you want your holiday highlight to be an unexpected encounter with a fellow officer.
