The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station will be conducting a Driving Under the Influence checkpoint beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, May 21 and concluding at 3 a.m. Saturday May 22.

The goal of the checkpoint is to educate the community on the hazards of drunk driving while enforcing the DUI laws of the State of California. The checkpoint is an ongoing attempt to safely remove drunk drivers from our streets.

The location of the checkpoint will be determined based on previous DUI activity and statistics and will be announced at a later time.

Funding for this enforcement and prevention program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Contact the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station’s Traffic Department at (661) 799-5110 for additional information.
