Yuma officers watching for impaired drivers on Halloween

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Halloween day is around the corner and the Yuma Police Department (YPD) wants to make sure you have a safe trick or treat.

YPD will have more officers on the streets Friday and Saturday looking for impaired drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

"If you are going out celebrating, absolutely celebrate but do it reasonably have a designated driver a tipsy toe, get a cab, get an Uber. Get whatever you need, have fun but don't drive," said Sgt. Lori Franklin of YPD.

Sgt. Franklin shares safety tips if you go out and about to trick or treat with your kids.

"Watch your costume, make sure you have reflective tape, glow sticks and flashlights. Make sure your costume is not too long and you are going to trip. Make sure they can see," she said.

YPD is putting this DUI detail together thanks to a grant from the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
