INDUSTRY >> California Highway Patrol officers will be screening drivers for sobriety during a checkpoint tonight in the unincorporated county area between Industry and West Covina, officials said.
The checkpoint is scheduled to begin about 9 p.m. and continue through Saturday morning, CHP Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said in a written statement.
“The sobriety checkpoint is part of the CHP’s effort to curb drinking and driving,” Capt. Steve Urrea of the CHP’s Baldwin Park area office said. “Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked. If volume becomes too heavy, vehicles to be checked will be selected by a pre-set standard — such as every third or fifth vehicle — to assure objectivity.”
Funding for the checkpoint is being provided by a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, through the California Office of Traffic Safety.
