Law enforcement across the county looking hard for drunk drivers over holidays

Police will be out in full force this holiday season looking for drunk drivers.

The special DUI emphasis officially starts in Pierce County next week, November 24th and will go through January 2nd.

Here are full details from Pierce County:

Coinciding with this campaign, on Friday, Nov. 25, the Washington State Patrol will conduct a Black Friday emphasis patrol with many of the local participating law enforcement agencies throughout Pierce County.
