Clark County police departments are deploying extra officers for DUI enforcement on Independence Day.
The Vancouver, Washougal and Battle Ground police departments will participate in the heightened patrols. While July 4 is known for barbecues and cold beers, officers will be looking for drunk as well as drugged drivers, according to a VPD news release.
A grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission covers the overtime costs for the extra officers.
Police advise people who spot a potentially impaired driver to keep their distance and call 911.
