Arizona Statewide DUI Enforcement Initiative

A special program for statewide DUI enforcement in Arizona began on May 1, and as of May 3 there have been almost 300 suspects arrested for DUI. The large movement to ensure enforcement of DUI is partly in response to the increase of alcohol-related crashes in Arizona. Currently, Arizona leads the nation in DUI crashes by over four percent.

Of the Arizona total for May 1-3, more than 85 cases were extreme DUIs, meaning that the blood alcohol level of the driver was 1.5 or higher. The increase in DUI enforcement has led to over 1500 more traffic stops. However, the increase in traffic stops also seems to have caused a decrease in DUI arrests.

If you are involved in a DUI incident, possible injury is not the only problem you are facing. Penalties for a DUI conviction can cost a motorist more than $10,000, including fines, fees, and increased insurance costs. DUI convictions can also involve community service or even jail time.
