The operation was conducted Saturday through Monday, according to the post.
In all, the department said the operation resulted in 398 citations, 79 DUI arrests, eight “other arrests,” two firearms recovered and 92 vehicles were towed.
“A reminder: we are towing vehicles and taking drivers off the road who are putting others at risk,” police said. “Driving is a privilege, not a right.”
