Turlock PD plans Memorial Day DUI crackdown

TURLOCK - The Avoid the 12 DUI Campaign will be deploying officers this holiday weekend at DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols countywide to arrest impaired drivers who still don’t get the message. 

The Memorial Day weekend is witness to the kick off of summertime recreation and holiday travel, along with many college and high school graduations seeing thousands celebrate their accomplishments. The next 100 days will also see a rise in deaths and injuries as far too many individuals get behind the wheel impaired.

The enforcement campaign begins Friday night with a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint in the city of Ceres with special DUI Saturation Patrols deploying countywide. A DUI checkpoint will also be conducted on Saturday in Turlock and on Sunday in Modesto. Local DUI Saturation Patrols will be out on Saturday and Sunday nights.
