Stockton, CA – Ten officers from the Lodi and Stockton Police Department’s DUI Enforcement Team will be deploying this Friday night in Lodi to stop and arrest impaired drivers in the “AVOID the 10” ongoing traffic safety campaign.

“For those who don’t care about their own safety or the safety of others, BEWARE – We’re looking for you,” said Sgt Lance Baur, Stockton PD. “If we catch you behind the wheel of your car, truck or ride your motorcycle buzzed, you will go to jail this weekend.”

Manteca PD will also be conducting another “Zero Tolerance” DUI Saturation Patrol on New Years Eve targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver before their celebrations begin. Funding for this program is though a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

When backing out of a parking spot, beware of waiting cars, others who are backing out at the same time and motorists who speed through lanes.
