One Decision, Big Consequences: RPD Talks DUI Prevention
Episode 6
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026

In this episode, Steve and Katie sit down with Officer Ron “RJ” Johnson from the Redding Police Department’s Traffic Division to explore how a new DUI-focused traffic safety grant is helping keep Redding’s roads safer.RJ breaks down how the grant supports a wide range of initiatives — from DUI checkpoints and officer training to school presentations and public education about the dangers of impaired driving. With impairment now coming from alcohol, cannabis, prescription drugs, and even combinations of substances, this work has never been more critical.Listeners will hear what officers are actually seeing on Redding’s roads, how legalization and changing attitudes around substances are affecting driver behavior, and the surprising trends emerging from recent enforcement efforts.Whether you’re a parent, a daily commuter, or someone who simply wants a safer community, this conversation offers valuable insight into how RPD is working to reduce impaired driving and protect the public.Tune in for an informative and eye-opening discussion with Officer Ron Johnson.Contact the City of Redding Podcast Team Email us at podcast@cityofredding.org Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Visit the City of Redding website Love the podcast?
