Monterey County Sheriff’s Office Ramps Up DUI Enforcement for the 2024-25 Holiday Season

As the holiday season and New Year’s celebrations approach, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office is

increasing its efforts to keep roadways safe by targeting impaired drivers. Through enhanced DUI saturation

patrols, deputies will focus on preventing alcohol-related incidents and helping to ensure the safety of all

residents and visitors.

These operations are funded by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Alcohol Policing

Partnership (ABC-APP) Grant, which provides resources to combat alcohol-related harm. This grant allows

the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office to deploy additional patrols dedicated specifically to finding and

removing impaired drivers from the roads during this critical time of year.

“The holidays are a time for celebration, but safety must remain a priority,” said Sheriff Tina Nieto.

“Impaired driving endangers lives, and we are committed to ensuring everyone can enjoy the season

responsibly. Thanks to the ABC-APP Grant, we can increase enforcement efforts to protect our community.”

DUI saturation patrols will occur throughout December and into the New Year across both incorporated and

unincorporated areas of Monterey County. Residents are urged to plan ahead and use designated drivers or

arrange for alternative transportation to avoid the dangers of impaired driving.

Let’s work together to make this holiday season a safe and joyful time for everyone.
