The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s station will be conducting a driving under the influence/driver’s license checkpoint tonight from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday morning at an undisclosed location.

The goal of the checkpoint is to education the community on the hazards of drunk driving while enforcing the DUI laws of the state. The checkpoint is an ongoing attempt to safely remove drunk and unlicensed drivers from our streets. The location of the checkpoint will be based on the DUI activity in that area.

The checkpoint is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
