Statewide DUI Team Adding Enforcement for Pro Football Game Day

Weekend surge enforcement set to stop impaired drivers

(Denver, CO) - The Colorado State Patrol Pikes Peak DUI Task Force will conduct increased patrols on I-25, C-470 and I-225 on Sunday, December 14, 2025. This operation focuses on deterring impaired driving on major traffic arteries throughout Jefferson, Arapahoe, Denver and Douglas Counties. An increased CSP presence will be noticed during and after the Packers vs. Broncos game.

Agencies, including the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the Arapahoe Sheriff’s Office, the Lone Tree Police Department, and the Castle Rock Police Department, will join with Patrol DUI task force members for this extended operation. While impaired driving will be the focus, any dangerous driving behavior observed or reported will be addressed.

According to Colorado State Patrol data, troopers have investigated over 266 crashes in these three counties that resulted from an impaired driver from January 1, 2025, through November 25, 2025. Nine of these crashes were fatal, and 50 caused injuries. Other top crash causal factors in this same time period include distracted driving, lane violations, following too closely and speeding.

This special operation aims to stop impaired driving "in its tracks" to save lives. State troopers will focus on the detection and apprehension of drivers who may be impaired by or otherwise under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of these substances. So, don’t take a break from driving responsibly. Always plan a sober ride.

We are asking the public for assistance in reporting suspected impaired drivers. The driver should be avoided by getting out of the way. Then, contact the Colorado State Patrol after you pull over by calling *CSP (*277), 9-1-1, or 970-249-4392. Be prepared to provide the following information: vehicle description, license plate number, location and direction of travel, driver description, and the driving behavior being demonstrated. All emergency calls can be made to 9-1-1.

Participating Agencies: 

• Colorado State Patrol – Pikes Peak DUI Team

• Douglas County Sheriff's Office

• Lone Tree Police Department
