The Menifee Police Department has joined forces with the California Highway Patrol’s Cannabis Tax Grant Unit in an effort to combat impaired driving. This collaboration aims to deploy an innovative strategy to deter driving under the influence (DUI) in the community.
Through grant funding, the department will acquire a specialized vehicle to use at all DUI checkpoints, enforcement operations, and educational presentations citywide. This vehicle will serve as a powerful tool in raising awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
As part of this initiative, the department invites families who have tragically lost loved ones to DUI crashes in Western Riverside County to participate in this project. The department plans to honor these individuals by displaying their names on the rear doors of the DUI vehicle, symbolizing a commitment to reducing DUI-related fatalities and ensuring that the memories of those lost are honored and remembered.
For more information on how to participate, contact Officer Balcazar at [email protected] or Sergeant Beare at [email protected].
