Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Responsibly
Oxnard, Calif. – The Oxnard Police Department encourages the public to celebrate Cinco de Mayo responsibly by planning ahead and designating a sober driver.
On May 4, the Oxnard Police Department will have additional officers on patrol from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
The Oxnard Police Department wants to remind the community that alcohol is not the only substance that can cause impairment. Prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, cannabis products and other drugs may also cause impairment. If you plan on drinking or taking medications with a driving warning label, let someone who is sober drive. If you see someone who appears to be driving while impaired, call 9-1-1.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Safety Administration.
