“However, and having served drinks to off duty Police at a past local Santa Rosa ʻcop bar,ʻ Police should NOT be given a “get out of jail free card” after they too have been drinking to the point of illegal inebriation and driving.”

When an acquaintance taking his oral exam for a Bay Area police department was asked that question of what to do with the inebriated cop stopped, and answered “take him in,”
he got the answer wrong.

Thanks to Dan and the other officers for helping to keep us safe. Several years ago a group of us parents picked up our daughters from high school volleyball practice. One mom didn’t make it home. She was killed by a repeat drunk driver on the same road I take every day. Her daughter, my daughters teammate, was seriously injured. When I pass that site I never fail to think of the kids left without a mother and the husband growing old without his wife. As an animal control officer, I’ve also picked up dogs from DUI accidents and arrests at all hours of the day and night. Often the people are normally upright citizens who made a very wrong choice. Don’t risk it.
Thanks again Dan! Every one of those drivers taken off the road could have been a fatal accident instead.

As a former bartender, itʻs about time the Police have stepped up looking for and prosecuting drunk drivers to the fullest extent of the law.

However, and having served drinks to off duty Police at a past local Santa Rosa ʻcop bar,ʻ Police should NOT be given a “get out of jail free card” after they too have been drinking to the point of illegal inebriation and driving. Way to often they have stumbled out of a bar, and driven, only to be escorted home while still driving by fellow on duty Officers.

There should be no ʻdouble standardʻ when it comes to driving drunk. Everybody should be prosecuted, no matter what your profession!
