STATEWIDE — As spring ushers in longer days and warmer weather, the Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol and local law enforcement agencies are turning up the heat and ramping up DUI patrols for the Spring Events The Heat Is On enforcement period running from Saturday, April 4, through Sunday, May 17.
Aiming to keep Colorado’s roads safe and reduce the number of DUIs and impairment fatalities, the enforcement period runs for more than a month, coinciding with functions where people will likely be celebrating — whether that be college graduations, sporting events, or marijuana-friendly libations.
