Saturation Patrol
This Wednesday, May 5, the Lawrence Police Department will conduct a DUI Saturation Patrol. This specialized patrol detail, funded through a grant with the Kansas Department of Transportation, will place extra officers in the field specifically looking for motorists who exhibit signs of impaired driving and other traffic violations. If stopped for a traffic violation, officers will perform field sobriety testing on motorists who show signs of alcohol and/or drug consumption and appropriate action will be taken. The saturation patrol will take place throughout the city limits of Lawrence.
The Lawrence Police Department urges you to designate a sober driver and reminds you to buckle up, every trip, every time.
