how many duis were given last night
There is no reliable public source that reports “how many DUIs were given last night” in real time for all locations, so that exact number cannot be answered.
Why the exact number is unavailable
- DUI arrest and citation counts are recorded by individual agencies (city police, county sheriff, state patrol) and usually published later in aggregate reports, not the next morning.
- National data on impaired driving tends to be annual or tied to specific holidays (for example New Year’s), and even those are estimates or released long after the fact.
- Unless a specific police department issues a press release about last night’s enforcement, there is no single public dataset that would say precisely how many DUIs occurred “last night” everywhere.
What is known instead
- Safety organizations estimate that alcohol‑impaired driving is involved in about one‑third of U.S. traffic deaths, and that share can be even higher around holidays like New Year’s.
- Some jurisdictions report trends, such as decreases or increases in fatal DUIs from one year to the next or after new crime bills and tougher penalties go into effect.
How you could find local numbers
If you want DUI counts for your specific area for last night:
- Check your city or state police / highway patrol news or statistics pages; some post “holiday DUI enforcement” summaries after major weekends.
- Look at local news sites for stories about “DUI checkpoint results” or “holiday DUI crackdown” in your city and date range.
- For more formal numbers, you can make a public records request to the relevant law‑enforcement agency asking for DUI arrests or citations for a specific date.
