Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. Last weekend Roseville Police conducted two DUI enforcement operations within the city. As part of the effort, they arrested three drivers for DUI, as well as making several traffic stops for reckless driving. "32 people in the United States are killed every day in crashes involving an alcohol-impaired driver—this is one death every 45 minutes." Wow. (City of Roseville, California Police Department via Facebook)
2. Colfax High School was on lockdown Tuesday morning due to a report of someone being on campus who was not a student. The lockdown was a precautionary measure and it was not related to any specific action on or near the campus. Colfax High was scheduled for a minimum day, but police didn't believe the lockdown would be lifted in time. After-school events were canceled. (Gold Country Media)
3. "The Placer County Community Development Resource Agency has issued a notice of preparation for an environmental impact report of The Ranch, a proposed 221.7-acre housing development in west Placer." You are invited to review the report and provide input between now and February 16. You can view the notice online or at the Roseville Downtown or Rocklin Libraries. (placer.ca.gov)
