ESCONDIDO ---- Officers will conduct a driver's license and DUI sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location Saturday, according to the Escondido Police Department.
The goal of the DUI checkpoint is to improve traffic safety by removing impaired and unlicensed drivers from city roads, police said. Drivers who are caught DUI face time in jail, the loss of their driver's license, higher insurance rates and other expenses, police said.
Funding for the DUI program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
The DUI checkpoint will last from 6 p.m. Saturday to midnight. |
