On Saturday, September 19, 2009, the Long Beach Police Department conducted a Driving Under the Influence / Driver License checkpoint at Anaheim Street and Daisy Avenue. “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” is the campaign for 2009. Long Beach Police Explorers and Long Beach Search and Rescue aided the Police Officers at the checkpoint.
The checkpoint operated from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. During the eight-hour operation, 1,290 vehicles passed through the checkpoint with 370 being screened. Of the vehicles screened, 2 people were arrested for driving under the influence, 22 vehicles were impounded because the drivers were unlicensed or had a suspended license, and 14 other drivers were issued traffic citations.
Checkpoints are a vital component in the fight against both impaired and unlicensed drivers. Nationally, impaired driving caused by drugs and/or alcohol causes one death every 33 minutes. The average American has a 30% chance of being killed or injured by an impaired driver. Sobriety checkpoints have been proven to reduce impaired driving related collisions by removing these drivers from our streets. This operation was funded through a grant from the “California Office of Traffic Safety”, through the “National Highway Traffic Safety Administration”.
