DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint in Chino

Officers of the Chino Police Department will conduct a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint near the 12000 block of Central Avenue starting at approximately 9 p.m. on Friday.

The Chino Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies from across the state to participate in the California's Holiday DUI Crackdown Campaign in an effort to reduce the number of persons killed or injured in alcohol related collisions. Last year marked the first time since 1998 in which alcohol-related fatalities have declined in California, dropping 8.3 percent.

DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving. Members of the public are also encouraged to call 911 and report suspected drunk drivers.
