The Orange County Sheriff's Department previously announced it is running saturation patrols, where cops flood areas known for drunken driving arrests, accidents and fatalities, all month. From 8 tonight through 4 a.m. Saturday, deputies will be targeting San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point and San Clemente.
Costa Mesa also has a separate operation all month targeting places where there have been incidents involving motorcycles–whether the boozy were involved or not.
When it comes to the alcohol side, the ops are funded by California Office of Traffic Safety grants, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
