Police Drinking Driver Team (DDT)

D.D.T. officers are specially trained to detect alcohol and/or drug impaired drivers. Their expertise also provides higher conviction rates and reduced court costs.

We have two officers assigned to the Drinking Driver Team.  They are generally assigned Thursday through Sunday.  Their primary mission is the detection and arrest of people driving vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and/or other controlled substances.  They are supervised by a patrol supervisor.

In addition to the drivers whom D.D.T. officers apprehend themselves, they assist patrol officers with "Driving Under the Influence" (D.U.I.) investigations. When a patrol officer has a possible D.U.I. driver stopped, a D.D.T. officer will take over the investigation, allowing the patrol officer to return to his other duties.

The D.D.T. Team urges you to remember that it is not "drunk driving," but driving under the influence, and that a 170 pound man can reach the presumed blood alcohol limit of .08% with as few as 3-12 oz. beers.
