The Peoria Police Department will join the West Valley DUI Task Force for a mass DUI patrol starting at 7 p.m. July 11.
The command post will be at Peoria Public Safety Administration Building, 8351 W. Cinnabar Ave.
They will patroll the West Valley to take drivers who have had too much to drink off the streets before they injure or kill themselves or another. The event is funded by the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
The agencies participating are the police departments from Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, Phoenix, Surprise, Tolleson, Youngtown, Arizona State Liquor Control and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
While the presumed level for DUI is .08 percent, in Arizona you are DUI if your ability to drive is impaired to the slightest degree, no matter your blood alcohol percent.
Average cost and jail time of a first offense DUI:
• DUI: $3,260, 10 days in jail and one-year ignition interlock device
• Extreme DUI (.15 percent to .19 percent BAC): $5,956, 30 days in jail, one-year ignition interlock device
• Super Extreme DUI (.20 percent or greater): $8,336, 45 days in jail, 18 months ignition interlock device
