El Paso Police To Conduct No Refusal Blood Draw Operation
The El Paso Police Department will conduct a ?No Refusal Mandatory Blood Draw Operation? beginning Wednesday, November 24, 2011 at 10:00 p.m. and ending Thursday, November 24, 2011 at 4:00 a.m.
These operations are conducted randomly throughout the year and target drivers arrested for drunk driving who refuse to provide a breath sample for analysis.
In the event a driver refuses to provide a breath sample, the arresting officer completes the necessary paperwork for the issuance of a search warrant to secure a blood sample.
Once obtained, the sample is then sent to a lab for analysis.
These operations will continue on a random basis throughout the year.
