Crystal River police to deploy against DUIs

CRYSTAL RIVER - The Police Department will participate in a national program to combat drunken driving Saturday through Jan. 1.

The department received a $78,000 grant from the Florida Department of Transportation to address alcohol-involved crashes, which make up about 15 percent of the crashes in the city. This year, Crystal River has investigated one alcohol-related fatality.

"We are committed to making sure Crystal River citizens can enjoy the holiday season without the trauma of a fatality crash," police Chief Steven Burch stated.

The department will conduct a DUI saturation patrol Dec. 16, as well as deploy additional officers on New Year's Eve.
