Seven metro area law enforcement agencies are teaming together to create a new DUI Task Force to combat drivers who drive drunk or on drugs.
The Metro DUI Task Force will be introduced today in Denver at a press conference on the west steps of the State Capitol.
“Working together through an established multi-agency agreement, police officers, deputy sheriffs and Colorado State Troopers will patrol member communities as a cohesive unit, looking for intoxicated motorists,” said Sonny Jackson, a Denver Police Department spokesman, in a written release.
Agencies taking part in the task force are the Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson County sheriff’s offices, Colorado State Patrol, and Denver, Northglenn and Wheat Ridge police departments.
Staff writer Kieran Nicholson can be reached at 303-954-1822 or knicholson@denverpost.com.
