4. Summit County officials say DUI problem is more than a tourist issue<\/a><\/h4>\n

Data collected by the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice over the past few years has made it clear that Summit County, along with a number of other mountain communities in northwest Colorado, are dealing with a serious DUI problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As some of the worst offenders in the state, Summit County and the rest of the Fifth Judicial District \u2014 Clear Creek, Eagle and Lake counties \u2014 report the second highest number of DUI charges in Colorado per 100,000 residents. But what are the underlying causes of why individuals on the state\u2019s Western Slope are seemingly more willing to get behind the wheel while inebriated?<\/p>\n

Community leaders in the fields of law enforcement, courts and community health agree that the issue stems from a number of different variables, including the ski town party culture that is enjoyed by residents and visitors.<\/p>\n

This is the first in a four-part series that explores the public safety issue and take a look at how the problem could be addressed.<\/p>\n
