The long three day Labor Day Weekend ranks third in DUI crashes in Utah for Holiday weekends.
So to counteract this Utah law enforcement are ramping up their DUI patrols and DUI officers in Tooele, Salt Lake City, Davis County, and throughout the entire state of Utah.
In the past three years there have been an average of 28 DUI related crashes in Utah during the Labor Day Weekend.
Several Utah law enforcement agencies and several Utah bars are getting involved in the prevent DUI program this weekend. Here is a list of the Utah bars that are participating:
- Fiddler’s Elbow (1063 E. 2100 South, Salt Lake City)
