Football fans beware: police will be on full alert this weekend for impaired drivers driving home from watching their favorite games. Peoria police department has announced it will join forces with other agencies in the area on a DUI task force Saturday through Sunday. The task force will feature additional officers on the road looking out for swerving, speeding, or any other minor traffic violation in order to pull drivers over to find out if they are driving under the influence. Other valley cities will also certainly be extra cautious.

An Arizona DUI conviction can ruin your life: your job or education might be jeopardized, future job opportunities could be crushed, and losing your license is embarrassing and inconvenient.
