Flagstaff police received a $30,000 grant from the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety to enforce DUI laws.
According to information from the Flagstaff Police Department, the grant is meant to help staff enforcement and educational activities throughout the year. Officers will be devoted to work DUI details during times and days when DUI driving is highest -- holidays, homecoming, prom and graduation weekends. The grant will also help officers make educational presentations in schools and community events.
Between 2006 and 2008, Flagstaff police have made nearly 3,000 DUI arrests. During that period, 3 percent of the non-injury crashes reported in the city were alcohol-related. Year to date between 2008 and 2009, the city has experienced a 40 percent reduction in alcohol-related collisions -- a figure police officials believe correlates directly with pulling impaired drivers off the roads.
