Palm Desert Police Department to Conduct Sobriety Checkpoint
Public Also Asked to Call 911 to Report Suspected Drunk Drivers
The Palm Desert Police Department, in its continued dedication to public safety, will be conducting a Driving While Intoxicated / Driver’s License Checkpoint on Saturday September 19th, from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. This checkpoint is part of the ongoing public safety awareness effort being made by the City of Palm Desert. The focus of the checkpoint will be to reduce driving while intoxicated and injury collisions, while removing drunk drivers from the roadway, along with apprehending those driving without a valid license.
The Palm Desert Police Department takes a proactive approach in the education of our citizens and enforcement of the laws dealing with drinking and driving. Traffic volume and weather permitting, all vehicles may be checked and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs. The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver.
Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant provides funding to staff checkpoints at various times throughout the year to reduce drunk driving and apprehend drivers with suspended and/or revoked licenses.
