What is a saturation patrol?
A saturation patrol is a procedure in which a number of law enforcement patrol units are dedicated to a limited area for the purpose of DWI detection and apprehension. Saturation patrols are concentrated enforcement efforts that target impaired drivers by observing moving violations such as reckless driving, speeding, aggressive driving, and others. Well-publicized saturation patrols educate the general driving public that breaking traffic laws is a serious problem and that violators will be punished. GO BACK 4.
