In addition to the checkpoints, seven extra local DUI Saturation Patrols will be deployed in the cities of Albany, Berkeley and Hayward along with patrols in Alameda County Sheriff's Departments jurisdiction. All regularly scheduled traffic and patrol officers will focus efforts at stopping and arresting DUI drivers during their normal shifts. Multiple/DUI Driver's License Checkpoints, Multi Agency DUI Task Force operations and local Roving DUI patrols are set region wide during the 17 day Winter Holiday Campaign.
