El Dorado County law enforcement plan DUI checkpoints for Memorial Day Weekend

Law enforcement agencies in El Dorado County are planning a DUI crackdown for Memorial Day weekend, according to a South Lake Tahoe Police Department release.

The enforcement campaign is scheduled to begin Friday. Placerville police will staff a sobriety checkpoint in the city's downtown district from 7 p.m. Friday until 1 a.m. the following morning, according to the release. Driver's licenses will also be checked.

Also starting that night, DUI saturation patrols will be carried out by police in the cities of Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, and sheriff's deputies will staff extra DUI units in South Lake Tahoe, the release states. Roving patrols will be deployed from Friday until Monday.

The California Highway Patrol, meanwhile, will assign 80 percent of all available officers to area freeways and unincorporated roads in their jurisdiction starting at 6 p.m. Friday until midnight Monday, the release states.
