Multnomah County, Ore. – The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) reports 47 traffic stops and four DUII arrests following its recent holiday impaired driving enforcement campaign.

According to MCSO, the targeted operation ran from December 10, 2025, through January 1, 2026, as part of the agency’s effort to reduce crashes caused by impaired drivers. Deputies conducted five focused DUII enforcement shifts, concentrating on late-night hours and high-traffic travel periods when impaired driving incidents are most likely to occur.

Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell thanked both deputies and community members for prioritizing road safety during the holiday season. “We are grateful to our deputies for their vigilance and to the community members who made responsible choices this holiday season,” O’Donnell said.

Officials remind drivers that intoxicants include alcohol, illegal drugs, inhalants, prescription medications, and marijuana—and even small amounts can impair driving ability.

To stay safe year-round, MCSO advises residents to plan ahead with a sober driver, use rideshare or public transit, and report impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1.

The campaign reinforces MCSO’s ongoing commitment to preventing impaired driving crashes and ensuring safer roadways across Multnomah County.
