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.
Checkpoints are a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug related crashes.
Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that could exceed $10,000.
