The Portland Police Bureau announced on March 14 that it was teaming up with local law enforcement agencies to stop drunk driving during the holiday. The mission continues on Monday.
“From March 14 to March 18, we’ll be out looking for impaired drivers and other illegal driving behaviors,” PPB announced.
In total, law enforcement agencies made 910 traffic stops in the Portland area over the weekend. Of those stops, 59 people were arrested (37 for impaired driving).
Authorities also issued 565 traffic tickets and gave 708 warnings during the weekend. More than 330 of the tickets were for speeding, PPB spokesperson Mike Benner told KOIN. Another 239 were issued for lane misuse.
In 2024, a similar St. Patrick’s Day effort resulted in more than 1,600 traffic stops, 950 citations, and 75 arrests for speeding, impaired driving and distracted driving.
