The Hanford Police Department conducted DUI saturation patrols throughout the City of Hanford on Saturday, November 8. During the operation, officers conducted numerous traffic stops that resulted in four (4) DUI arrests and five (5) citations for various traffic violations.
These enforcement efforts are part of the department's ongoing commitment to keeping Hanford’s streets safe. As the holiday season approaches, the Hanford Police Department will continue to deploy DUI saturation patrols with the goal of identifying impaired drivers and reducing alcohol-related collisions within the City. These operations are grant-funded by the California Highway Patrol DUI Grant.
“Driving under the influence is a preventable crime, and we will continue to take proactive measures to ensure our roads remain safe for all,” Hanford Police Chief Stephanie Huddleston said. “The message is clear: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”
The Hanford Police Department urges motorists to plan ahead and use designated drivers or ride-share services if they plan to consume alcohol.
