The Metro DUI Squad issued 31 traffic violations last Saturday night during a county-wide traffic enforcement effort. Three people were arrested. The squad is comprised of officers with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office and Germantown Police Department.

Officers, including Sheriff's Office Reserve Deputies assigned to the squad, watched for drivers who might be impaired by alcohol and drugs. The DUI Officers also looked for people speeding or driving recklessly. Here are the results of the safety initiative:

Regular/Courtesy Violations: 28

• Speeding - 21
• Other Shelby County Moving Violations - 2
• Seat Belt (Adult) - 2
• Other Shelby County Non-Moving Violations - 1
• State Registration - 1
• Disregarding Stop Light - 1

Violations that led to Arrests: 3

• Driving Under the Influence - 1
• Violation of Open Container Law/Allowing an Unlicensed Driver to Operate Vehicle - 1
• Driving on Revoked/Suspended License - 1

Last weekend’s Metro DUI enforcement initiative was funded by a grant from the Governor's Highway Safety Office. The grant enables law enforcement Officers across Tennessee to work additional hours to spot and arrest drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
