  6. Alcohol • Testing - Commanders may test the unit or parts of the unit randomly for alcohol: • Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), based on breath test, of .05% is considered impaired on-duty. Local commanders can lower this limit. • Commanders can stipulate a lower BAC to be considered drunk on duty although the regulation states .05 • Commanders must deglamorize alcohol use; alcohol consumption should NOT be the main focus of any unit event.

  7. Underage Drinking • Legal drinking age is 21 • If under 21, BAC of .02 to .07 will likely result in: • 90 day license suspension • 2nd offense: suspension of license for one year or until age 21, whichever is longer UNCLASSIFIED

Any person who operates a motor vehicle within this state is deemed to have given consent, to a test or tests of his or her breath or blood for the purpose of determining the alcohol concentration or presence of any drug in his or her breath or blood. A person is guilty of being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug if the person has actual physical control of a vehicle within this state.    RCW 46.20.308 RCW 46.61.504 RCW 46.61.519

  12. National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration Americans love to celebrate the Fourth of July with family, friends, food and fireworks, but all too often the festivities turn tragic on the nation's roads. The fact is, this iconic American holiday is also one of the deadliest holidays of the year due to drunk-driving crashes. According to data from NHTSA, during July 4th holidays over the last five years (from 2007 to 2011), 780 people lost their lives in crashes involving drivers who had BACs of at least .08 g/dL. These fatalities account for 40 percent of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities over this same five-year period. http://www.nhtsa.gov/

  13. Data & Statistics Nearly one-third of crash deaths involve an alcohol impaired driver In 2010, 10,228 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. Of the 1,210 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2010, 211 (17%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver. Of the 211 child passengers ages 14 and younger who died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in 2010, over half (131) were riding in the vehicle with the with the alcohol-impaired driver. http://www.nhtsa.gov/

  14. How big is the problem? Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. These other drugs are often used in combination with alcohol. http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/impaired-drv_factsheet.html
