The Coffeyville Police Department steps up police presence in the search for impaired drivers.

Officers increased patrols on Monday night, with a special emphasis on finding drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Between 8pm and midnight on Monday, Coffeyville Police made a total of 33 traffic stops. No impaired drivers were found, though officers did issue 30 traffic warnings and 6 traffic citations. Officers arrested 6 individuals for possession of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, outstanding warrants, driving without a license, and driving while suspended or revoked.

The program was funded by a grant awarded to the Coffeyville Police Department by the Kansas Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in an effort to keep impaired drivers off of Kansas streets and highways.
