DUI Saturation Operation 
The Santa Maria Police Department conducted a Driving Under the Influence Saturation Operation on January 24, 2025, between 5:00 PM and midnight.
As a result, two drivers were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The Santa Maria Police Department reminds the public of its commitment to keeping impaired drivers off the roadway. Driving under the influence is not only dangerous but also carries significant consequences. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, along with a suspended license.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
