To The Editor:

Thanks to The Arizona Republic for identifying hotel and club pool parties in metro Phoenix ("Make a splash at 5 pool parties around Phoenix," April 21). The article gives authorities exact dates and times to set up checkpoints for impaired drivers and public drunkenness, bar underage drinkers, issue citations for noise pollution, and shut down overcrowded venues and pools. Existing laws and regulations enable enforcement, although Valley communities often seem reluctant to act. Meanwhile, the rest of your readers have learned what venues to avoid.
