SLOPD to host DUI Checkpoint tonight. 
The San Luis Obispo Police Department will conduct a sobriety and driver’s license checkpoint on Thursday July 5th, 2012. The checkpoint will run from 8:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. at an undisclosed location in the city. Traffic flowing through the checkpoint will be contacted by uniformed officers who will be checking for alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers. Officers will also check to make sure all drivers have a valid driver’s license.
The location of the checkpoint will be announced approximately 2 hours before the checkpoint opens.
The purpose of the checkpoint is to promote public safety, increase awareness of the dangers associated with drinking and driving, and serve as a deterrent to potential impaired and unlicensed drivers.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Please direct any inquires to Sgt. Janice Goodwin at (805) 594-8034. Media is encouraged to attend the checkpoint in an effort to spread awareness about the impacts of drinking and driving.
