FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, August 3, 2026

The Kingman Police Department, in conjunction with the Western AZ DUI Task Force, will be providing extra patrol during Kingman’s First Friday event on August 7. Additional grant funding from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety has enabled overtime support so officers can focus on enforcement and detection during times when impaired driving is more likely, including holidays and community celebrations.

The department reminds all who plan to use alcohol or other impairing substances to choose a designated driver, taxi, or rideshare service for their journey home. If you suspect an impaired driver, please contact law enforcement immediately.

As you head downtown to join the festivities, please help spread the word: Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving!
