AUGUST DUI TASK FORCE EMPHASIS PATROL DEDICATED TO RYAN SEWARD On August 14 the Puyallup Police Department will host a DUI emphasis patrol in memory of Ryan Seward who was killed by an impaired driver in Puyallup on August 5, 2009. Following a brief dedication at 7:30 pm in the Council Chambers of City Hall, over twenty-five officers from law enforcement agencies throughout Pierce County will be patrolling the streets of Puyallup in search of impaired drivers. Impaired driving is the leading factor in traffic deaths in Pierce County. The Puyallup Police Department and the 18 other member agencies of the task force conduct extra DUI enforcement throughout the year to prevent it. The goal of the task force and its funder, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, is to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030.
