Know Your Limit Educational Campaign
•Saturday Sept. 4, 2021 (Labor Day Weekend)
•The “Know Your Limit” program is intended to inform the public on how little it
takes to reach the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC), which is .08% in
California
•officers will invite volunteers to take a breathalyzer test to see if they can guess
their BAC. Those participating are asked how many drinks they had and whether
they believe they are safe to drive. Following the test, officers provide education
on the impact of alcohol on one’s ability to drive, and the consequences of a DUI.
•250 public contacts
•150 breath test exposures
•Overall interactions were very positive, and the breathalyzer results were
surprising
