YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) announced it will be conducting an impaired driving detail from Friday, May 3, through Sunday, May 5.

- Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin.
- Before drinking, please designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home.
- If you’re impaired, use a taxi, or Uber, or call a sober friend or family member.
- If you happen to see an impaired driver on the road, don’t hesitate to call 911.
- If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
