The Junction City Police Department will conduct a DUI Saturation Patrol on Friday, June 23rd and 24th. The patrol will be overnight Friday into Saturday.

Police Chief Dan Breci said that “there will be five additional patrol cars on the streets to detect and deter drunk driving.”

The patrols are designed to identify intoxicated drivers. Motorists  that are stopped for traffic violations who are suspected of intoxication will be given on-site field sobriety tests. Confirmed impaired drivers will be arrested.

“The purpose of these patrols is not to harass motorists, but to increase overall motorists safety,” said Breci.
