DUI/DRIVER’S LICENSE CHECKPOINT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (November 1, 2018) – The Anaheim Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint Friday November 2, 2018 on Euclid Street at Cerritos Ave. between the hours of 8:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M.

Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely. DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public. Continue reading→
