Additional officers from the South Pasadena Police Department will be out on patrol November 26, 2021 from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

The South Pasadena Police Department remains committed to keeping the public safe when they are traveling.

The South Pasadena Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, plan on staying at home.

Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Travel is likely to increase during the holiday break. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated before traveling. Encourage staff and families to stay local until everyone in their household is fully vaccinated. If they do choose to travel with unvaccinated family members, they should follow the LACDPH Travel Advisory and Guidance. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated who choose to travel must get tested and complete quarantine before joining any holiday gatherings or celebrations and before returning to work or school.
