California DUI Checkpoints to Increase

State authorities declare 2010 'The Year of the Checkpoint'




The Office of Traffic Safety has announced that $8 million has been allocated for law enforcement activities that deter driving under the influence in California. The monies, an increase from $5 million in 2009, will be used to fund DUI checkpoints throughout the state. 148 agencies will share the grant money to conduct more than 2,500 sobriety checkpoints. That is an increase of 47% over this year’s efforts.

The OTS director said that California conducts more DUI checkpoints than any other state, and declared 2010 ‘The Year of the Checkpoint’. In 2008, the last year with complete records, there were 214,811 arrests for DUI in CA.
