Arizona’s holiday drunk driving task force has so far resulted in more than 2,800 DUI arrests during the 2011 holiday period.
The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety said Saturday that law enforcement has conducted 46,194 traffic stops between Nov. 24 and Dec, 24.
A year ago, officers made 33,395 traffic stops.
Nearly 6,500 police, highway patrol officers, sheriff’s deputies and volunteers are participating in DUI task forces around the state this month in an effort to reduce deadly crashes.
