CADA has partnered with Alcohol and Drug Programs and the Santa Barbara Police Department to develop a campaign which raises the visibility of DUI enforcement. An increased perception in enforcement around DUI has been shown to be an evide...nce-based strategy that deters people from driving after drinking.
