DUI enforcement efforts are ramping up this holiday weekend across the state. Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and over 100 other agencies are participating in the enforcement campaign, known as The Heat Is On campaign, to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by impaired drivers. The campaign runs from Friday, November 17 through Monday, November 27 and could include sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, or an increased number of patrols.

To confirm you are sober before you drive, CDOT recommends personal breathalyzers and also offers the free R-U-Buzzed app which tracks blood alcohol content (BAC) based on weight, gender, and the number of drinks consumed within a given time.

For more information on the campaign, see the CDOT Press Release.
