On 12/9 and 12/10, Washington Metropolitan Police Dept., Prince George's County Police Department, Maryland State Police, Forest Heights Police Department, and City of Seat Pleasant Police Dept
conducted a joint border to border impaired enforcement effort along Southern Avenue, SE. The joint operation yielded 17 DUI arrests and 521 citations.
During the initiative, a Prince George's County Police Department officer was struck and the operator was arrested for DUI (BAC .17).
While conducting traffic control for an impaired driving crash, a
Forest Heights Police Department officer was struck by another impaired driver.
Both officers made a full recovery.
In addition to the impaired driving enforcement, the traffic stops resulted in 7 arrests for outstanding warrants, multiple handgun violations, and led to the arrest of the suspects in a recent carjacking.
Thank you to all officers and agencies involved in the initiative! This holiday season we encourage all motorists to #MakeAPlan and never drive impaired.
