California Highway Patrol officers have increased patrol as they remain on the lookout for drunk, reckless drivers hitting the roads on New Year's Eve. KTLA's Shelby Nelson reports on Dec. 31, 2024.

California Highway Patrol officers will be increasing patrols during the New Year holiday to deter impaired and reckless drivers.

While San Diego is turning a new leaf into 2025, law enforcement officers will be out in full force this New Year's Eve to ensure drivers and the public are safe.

The CHP will initiate its New Year's "maximum enforcement period" at 6 p.m., when all available officers deploy to catch impaired motorists, speeders and other traffic violators.

For New Year’s Eve, California Highway Patrol officers Tuesday night will ramp up operations in Los Angeles and Orange counties, and statewide, to crack down on drunken and drug-impaired motorists as part of a holiday period anti-DUI campaign.
