SBPD will add DUI patrols on Feb. 12
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY
Feb. 12 is Super Bowl LVII Sunday, and the Seal Beach Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
“We want the football fans in our community to enjoy Super Bowl festivities, but we also want responsible drivers on our roads,” Chief Michael Henderson said. “Before you grab a drink, make sure your game plan includes scheduling a ride-share or designating a sober driver.”
The Seal Beach Police Department reminds the public that alcohol is not the only substance that impairs. Marijuana, prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may also impair drivers’ ability.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Super Bowl LVII will feature the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. The game starts at 3:30 p.m. PST on Sunday, Feb. 12. The Chiefs are seeking their third Super Bowl title and are playing in the big game for the fifth time in franchise history. The Eagles are after a second Super Bowl title and are playing in the NFL’s biggest game for the fourth time in franchise history.
