In its second special enforcement operation in two days, the Menifee Police Department on Monday cited nine drivers for either speeding, stop sign violation, or other code violations, authorities said.

The two-officer team patrolled the streets in search of DUI drivers and other code violations, according to an MPD news release. Twelve drivers were stopped for various vehicle code violations and nine received citations. One driver was unlicensed and screened for possible intoxication, but did not appear to be under the influence. His vehicle was towed and a citation was issued.

Another DUI enforcement patrol is scheduled for April 28.

“Driving under the influence is dangerous, illegal and puts every person driving on the roads at risk. Drivers need to understand the dangers of driving impaired,” Sergeant Matthew Bloch said. “We are out there and will not hesitate to stop drivers who drive impaired.”

Drivers charged with DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

The Menifee Police Department will be holding a series of DUI enforcement patrols throughout the year to keep local roadways safe. Funding for this DUI Patrol was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
