Junction City police officers will conduct DUI saturation patrols throughout the city on Friday night and Saturday morning. According to Captain Dan Breci there will be five additional patrol cars on the streets to detect and deter drunk driving.

The patrols are designed to identify intoxicated drivers.

Those motorists  stopped for traffic violations who are suspected of intoxication will be given an on-site field sobriety test. Confirmed impaired drivers will be arrested.

Breci noted the purpose of the patrols  isn’t to harass motorists, but increase overall motorist’s safety.
