The Seattle Police Department used to have a ‘DUI Squad,’ inclusive of officers specifically trained and dedicated to DUI prevention. When financial cuts were made around the city the unit was disbanded. Emphasis patrols ceased in 2019. Well, for a bit, DUI emphasis patrols are going to pick back up in Seattle. Busy Seattle streets and popular nightlife hotspots are going to be watched every night this month from 6 pm to 4 am. The goal is to minimize or eliminate DUI’s in those areas. Due to this, folks best make alternative plans to driving if they plan on drinking or using marijuana while in high traffic areas in Seattle, especially on December 19, 2025, because that is the day law enforcement has dubbed, “Night of 1000 Stars”. It represents 1,000 badges across our state roadways.
