Drunk drivers beware.

To get ready for the upcoming Halloween holiday celebrations, Atlanta Traffic Enforcement Officers are planning a DUI crackdown tonight for the Atlanta Metro Area.  Their objective is to raise public highway safety awareness prior to Halloween and, more importantly, arrest drunk drivers.

The APD will hold an 8 p.m. press conference tonight at 180 Southside Industrial Boulevard, before launching Halloween HEAT. The initiative is dedicated to the memory of Sgt. Darrell Johnson, an 18-year APD veteran who was killed by a drunk driver on the morning of last year's Halloween HEAT news conference.
