The Bakersfield Police Department is holding a DUI and driver's license checkpoint on Saturday.

The checkpoint will be held on June 2 at an undisclosed location within city limits between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m.

Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment as well as checking for proper licensing.
