Colorado State Patrol and local law enforcement agencies announced increased presence and enforcement of Colorado’s traffic and safety laws this weekend, especially in the high country.

Officers are especially targeting aggressive and impaired driving.

On Friday, July 18, enforcement officers will up their numbers on Colorado roads in five destination counties that draw many visitors.

According to CSP, visitors and residents of Colorado have been negatively impacted by aggressive and impaired drivers.

The operation aims to raise awareness of the responsibility drivers have and encourage voluntary compliance with posted speed limits, Colorado’s new hands-free law and safe lane changes, according to the agency.

Participating Agencies include:

  • Colorado State Patrol – Troop 4C
  • Summit County Sheriff’s Office
  • Lake County Sheriff’s Office
  • Eagle County Sheriff’s Office
  • Garfield County Sheriff’s Office
  • Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office

CSP is advising those who suspect an impaired driver to avoid the vehicle and call CSP at (*277) or 303-239-4501 after safely pulling over.

To report a suspected impaired driver CSP asks that individuals be prepared to provide a vehicle description, license plate number, location and direction of travel, driver description and the driving behavior being demonstrated.
