**Chandler Police Holiday DUI Task Force in Full Effect**

CHANDLER, AZ – The Chandler Police Department, in collaboration with the East Valley Holiday DUI Task Force, continues its efforts to keep impaired drivers off the roads. Officers will conduct patrols throughout the upcoming weekend to ensure the safety of all residents and commuters.

The operation is part of the city's ongoing “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, emphasizing the importance of avoiding driving under the influence during the holiday season.
