The CHP, meantime, has announced a DUI zero tolerance campaign called "Enough is Enough."
From January 22 through January 31, all available personnel including command staff, middle managers, supervisors, and officers have committed to proactively patrol all state highways with a zero tolerance approach to drunk and drugged drivers.
The CHP reports 5 officers have been hit on California freeways while assisting drivers in the past month; three of the incidents were DUI related-one was the fatal crash that killed Ofc. Camilleri.
The CHP tweeted a video showing an accident from 2016 to drive home the message.
