Jackson County, OR – A coordinated New Year’s Eve DUII High-Visibility Enforcement Patrol led to 19 arrests across Jackson County, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. The multi-agency operation, conducted over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, was aimed at deterring impaired driving and reducing holiday-related crashes.
According to JCSO, the effort was made possible through funding from the Oregon Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Partnering agencies included the Oregon State Police, Medford Police, Ashland Police, Central Point Police, Eagle Point Police, Phoenix Police, Talent Police, and Rogue River Police Departments.
Deputies and officers patrolled known DUII-prone areas, watching for erratic driving, speeding, and lane deviations. The sheriff’s office said the increased patrols are part of ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety and reduce impaired driving incidents throughout the county.
Officials emphasized that DUII enforcement remains a top priority as agencies continue to collaborate on future high-visibility operations in 2026.
