Newport Beach police will be ramping up DUI enforcement tonight as many people celebrating St. Patrick’s Day will have a little Irish spirit — and spirits — in them.
Three squad cars, each with two officers, will patrol the Balboa Peninsula and the rest of the city to find potential drunk drivers, police said. The six officers will complement regular police in the city.
Police will also start “Operation Trapdoor,” in which two pairs of plain-clothes officers will be spending time in peninsula bars to look for law violations.
