Treasure Valley DUI Task Force increasing patrols for Super Bowl LX weekend

BOISE, Idaho — As the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots prepare for the Super Bowl, the Treasure Valley DUI Task Force has a game plan of its own—stepping up DUI enforcement throughout the weekend to protect communities across the Treasure Valley.

Enhanced DUI patrols will begin tomorrow evening and continue through Sunday. Law enforcement will be focused on identifying and removing impaired drivers from roadways. During last year’s Super Bowl enforcement period, the Treasure Valley DUI Task Force made 41 DUI arrests in just 30 hours. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 45% of all fatal crashes on Super Bowl Sunday in 2022 involved alcohol.

The Treasure Valley DUI Task Force is a multi-agency effort that began in October 2024 and includes the Meridian Police Department, Garden City Police Department, Idaho State Police, Ada County Sheriff’s Office, Canyon County Sheriff’s Office, Boise Police Department, Nampa Police Department, and Caldwell Police Department. The task force conducts proactive enforcement and education efforts aimed at reducing impaired driving and preventing serious injury and death.

Drivers are reminded to plan ahead by designating a sober driver, using a ride service, or arranging a safe ride home. Impaired driving is 100% preventable, and one decision can save a life.

Anyone who suspects an impaired driver is encouraged to call 911 or *ISP (*477).
