DUI Patrol Will Be Back In District 22 Tonight

CHICAGO, IL - The Chicago Police Department's DUI Saturation Patrol will be in the 22nd District tonight, Friday, April 20. The hours for the patrol are listed as from 7 p.m. until 3 a.m.

Patrols like these occur weekly in Chicago as officers spread out their presence. They announce the district where officers will be saturated throughout looking for drunk drivers but not the exact locations.

Last time the patrol was in the 22nd District, no DUI arrests were made.

"The purpose of this program is to saturate a pre-designated area with roving police officers that continually monitor vehicular traffic for signs of impaired driving," police said in a news release announcing the alert. "Patrols also place emphasis on speed, alcohol-related and safety belt violations. Police vehicles equipped for speed detection are deployed to apprehend speeding violators."
