Snohomish County law enforcement has wrapped up its latest holiday emphasis patrols for unsafe drivers.
During the 8-hour Surround the Sound emphasis patrols, the Target Zero Team removed 22 suspected impaired drivers,"
"That is 22 too many," said Tracy McMillan, manager of the Snohomish County DUI & Target Zero Task Force. "We would prefer drivers find a safer way home than driving themselves when impaired."
Approximately 325 drivers were contacted during patrols, meaning one out of about every 15 drivers was suspected of impaired driving and arrested.
Snohomish County Sheriff's deputies joined Washington State Patrol Target Zero Troopers on emphasis patrols, which are funding with a grant sponsored by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.
Other agencies that participated include patrols from Arlington, Everett, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens, Lynnwood and Monroe.
