The Prineville Police Department will be participating in NHTSA High Visibility
Enforcement national event for the Labor Day weekend. The goal is to increase
the number of officers on the street aggressively seeking out impaired drivers,
especially during holiday weekend
High visibility enforcement is designed to deter people from driving impaired and
to save lives. The Prineville Police Department encourages all drivers to make a
conscious effort to drive responsibly, use designated drivers, or use drive
shares/taxi. Impairment can be caused by both alcohol and drugs.
This enhanced enforcement is provided through overtime funding from the
Oregon Department of Transportation, NHTSA and Oregon Impact.
