For the second time in two months, the King County Sheriff’s Office will have extra patrols on duty in southeast King County this weekend.

The extra patrols are “a continuing effort to keep impaired drivers off the road,” a release from the Sheriff’s Office said.

The goal for the Sheriff’s Office is to “attack the DUI problem” by educating the public as well as still making arrests on those who are driving under the influence.

Deputies reach out to businesses including local bars who sell alcohol, in an effort to stop impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle.

The beginning of the shift includes stopping at local bars and informing employees about the increased DUI patrols that are happening this weekend.

“Deputies will offer suggestions on dealing with intoxicated patrons, options on getting them home safety (via friends, taxis, etc.) and encourage them to call the police if they see an impaired person attempting to drive,” the release stated.

The remainder of the emphasis patrol will involve looking for those impaired drivers on the roads.

“When an arrest is made, if the deputy determines the driver had been drinking at a business, the deputy will contact the business and advise them a customer has been stopped and arrested,” the release added. “Closing the loop with businesses will emphasize the consequences of over-serving and the civil liabilities a business can incur.”

The Sheriff’s Office said more DUI emphasis will be conducted in southeast King County as well as other parts of King County through the rest of the year.
