An article in the local paper reports that more than 1,300 people across the state of Colorado were arrested for DUI during a 19 day period from August 16th to September 3rd. Every year local law enforcement participates in a Labor Day crack down where up to 100 police agencies across the state take extreme measures to find and arrest drivers who are impaired. Over 1,300 drivers seems like a staggering number and considering that there were nine people killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes during this period some may question the overall effectiveness of these measures.
