The Oklahoma Highway Patrol ENDUI team will partner with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Bartlesville Police Department, Dewey Police Department, Nowata County Sheriff’s Office, Nowata Police Department, and South Coffeyville Police Department to conduct a saturation patrol in both Washington County and Nowata County on Saturday, January 27th.
Efforts will run between 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
The goal is simple: to make Washington County and Nowata County as safe as possible by getting impaired drivers off the roads. Officers and troopers will be on duty looking for impaired drivers across the Washington County and Nowata County areas.
In 2021, 407 people were killed in drug and/or alcohol-related crashes in Oklahoma. None of these crashes were accidents; every death could have been prevented if the impaired driver had made the smart choice not to drive while under the influence.
Everyone is highly encouraged to find a safe ride by calling a sober driver, using a cab, Uber, Lyft or any other ride-share service. Better yet, have a designated driver. Have fun and enjoy life, but do not, under any circumstances, drive while impaired by alcohol or any other substance. The cost is too high. Let’s ENDUI.
The ENDUI enforcement team coordinates multi-jurisdictional events on a regular basis, including sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. These efforts are needed to impact Oklahoma’s impaired driving problem across the state. The locations of these activities are driven by data from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office and by local request.
