The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office is putting extra deputies on duty during Memorial Day weekend, May 22 – 25, in an effort to increase visibility and deter people from engaging in intoxicated and/or distracted driving.
The Sheriff’s office is participating in Oregon’s High Visibility Enforcement grant program looking for impaired drivers.
“The Sheriff’s office is committed to the safety of our citizens and those who visit our County,” says Sgt. Joshua Roberts. “Our goal is to decrease alcohol and/or drug related crashes, and to save lives that might otherwise be lost.”
The Umatilla County Sheriff’s office is asking for your help in reporting suspected intoxicated drivers. If you see what you believe to be unsafe operation of a motor vehicle, call 541‐969‐3650, or 911 if it appears to be an emergency.
