DUII Enforcement Agency of the Year!

On April 20, 2012, the Washington County Sheriff's Office was named as the county 2011 DUII Enforcement Agency of the Year! This is the seventh time the agency has received this honor from the Oregon DUII Multi-Disciplinary Training Task Force. The award acknowledges DUII prevention efforts, aggressive training and enforcement of DUII laws, and community education. Our deputies average 1,200 DUII arrests per year, offer SKID presentations at local schools, and work hard to raise awareness that driving sober saves lives.

Sheriff Garrett acknowledges that DUII enforcement will continue to be an enforcement priority for the Sheriff's Office, especially as the number of drivers impaired by drugs and prescription medications continues to increase. Nice work troops!
