CHP cracks down during weekend

SACRAMENTO — The California Highway Patrol will flood roadways with all available officers this Labor Day weekend in an aggressive effort to stop impaired drivers before they cause harm.

The CHP’s annual Labor Day Holiday Enforcement Period (HEP) begins Friday, at 6:01 p.m., and runs through Monday, at 11:59 p.m.

The effort coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, which continues through September 1.
