There will be increased El Centro Police officers on the street looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The 
'"Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over " program will be in effect through New Years Day. According to ECPD Sgt. Adrian Chilpa, " Impaired driving isn't just dangerous, it's illegal. Let's make this a joyful and safe holiday season for everyone on the road". Funding for the program is provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
