On St. Patrick's Day weekend, the Portland Police Bureau will be partnered with the Oregon State Police (OSP) and other metro area law enforcement to keep the roadways safe from impaired drivers.
OSP will be bringing its mobile DUII bus to Portland to assist with the processing of drunk drivers.
Drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs injure and kill thousands of people every year. People consuming alcohol or drugs are urged not to get behind the wheel and should have a sober driver or utilize taxis, rideshare companies or transit so everyone is safe on our streets.
We hope everyone will enjoy this years St. Patrick's Day celebrations responsibly. If you choose to drink, please do it responsibly and remember that buzzed driving is drunk driving.
Support zero tolerance for impaired driving by reporting impaired drivers to 9-1-1.
The Portland Police Bureau is committed to working with our partners in government and the community to create safer streets and work towards reducing, and eventually eliminating, traffic fatalities as part of Vision Zero.
