The Nevada Highway Patrol put up its first โ€œDUI Treeโ€ years ago. You can find it at NHPโ€™s Reno headquarters, 357 Hammill Lane. How it works is that officers hang a paper ornament on the tree for every DUI arrest they make between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The tree doesnโ€™t celebrate arrests. Itโ€™s meant to serve as a reminder of each crash and fatality that may have been avoided when a drunken driver was removed the road.
