Colorado—The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and statewide law enforcement agencies will kick off the national DUI mobilization with a media tour beginning August 20. The Colorado Rockies baseball club and CDOT will hold a news conference to begin the crackdown. The Pike’s Peak Region (Colorado Springs area) DUI Task Force and CDOT are hosting a press event with the focus on impaired motorcycle riding prevention and enforcement. Colorado State Parks will be involved to promote enforcement on roadways and waterways in Colorado. More than 65 Colorado law enforcement agencies will be participating in saturation, increased patrols and multi-jurisdictional checkpoints throughout the crackdown period. CDOT and Denver Police will partner on a intensified enforcement project during the crackdown and are dedicating a sobriety checkpoint to a Denver Police Officer that was killed by a drunk driver. There will also be enforcement activities around the Colorado State Fair, which occurs in Pueblo during the crackdown.
