LERN on King Co TRS active tonight

[cowboymike1971]

LERN is very active tonight(Fri). Sounds as if there is a DUI checkpoint somewhere. I have heard stop after stop. Does anyone know what agencies might be using LERN this heavy tonight? Keep hearing stops on 101..Peninsula maybe? But wouldn't that be Kitsap county and not King?

They seem to be concentrated in the Tacoma/Puyallup areas.

I take it anyone can use LERN in any county at anytime? Sounds like they are maybe hittin the fair traffic pretty hard.. Although i did hear lots of stops on 101....

Well, yeah, it's a statewide freq. I've heard it as Puyallup PD's F-2 when they were on VHF, the US Marshals were using it yesterday for Fugitive Apprehension work, I've heard it being used for just about every jail in the state where the locals are on VHF, to call ahead for the sally port or something...I've even heard fire units chatting on it (up near Cle Elum).

Law enforcement officers in Pierce and Kitsap counties will conduct a special DUI emphasis patrol tonight.

Two teams of up to 50 officers from 15 law enforcement agencies will start the patrols at 8 p.m. and will be looking especially for drunken, underage drivers.

The second annual “Bridge to Bridge DUI Emphasis Patrol” is jointly sponsored by the Kitsap County Traffic Safety Task Force and the Tacoma-Pierce County DUI Task Force.

Officers will be working areas where the most DUI fatalities and injuries have occurred in Kitsap County. In Pierce County, they’ll be in Fife, Tacoma, Fircrest and University Place.

The patrol is dedicated to Jennie Mattlab, a 19-year-old Curtis High School graduate killed in a drunken-driving crash Feb. 20, 2007, in Tacoma.

She was a passenger in a car that ran a red light and hit another vehicle at South 48th and M streets. The driver of the car carrying Mattlab has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and vehicular assault.
