DUI Checkpoint Set For Holiday Weekend

POSTED: 2:23 pm PST November 24, 2009

On Wednesday, the Bakersfield Police Department Traffic Enforcement Detail will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint in the greater Bakersfield area.

This DUI/Drivers License checkpoint enforcement event is in an effort to reduce the number of persons injured or killed each year in DUI related collisions, as well as insuring motorists on city streets are in possession of a valid driver’s license. A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant for the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver.
