Additional police officers will be out Thursday in an effort to keep intoxicated drivers off the road on Cinco de Mayo, according to the Vancouver Police Department.
Extra Vancouver and Battle Ground officers will be on patrol, thanks to a state traffic safety grant.
The police remind revelers to stay safe and plan on having a designated driver or other ride home.
The ride-sharing service Uber, in partnership with Vancouver police, will offer first-time users a discount when they use the coupon code RIDEHOMEVANC.
The grant, from the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission, will pay for extra patrols locally throughout the year.
