The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) traffic section will conduct a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint on Saturday, July 11 in north Long Beach between the hours of 7pm and 3am, according to police.
“Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions in Long Beach have claimed nine lives and resulted in 315 injury crashes, harming 420 of our friends and neighbors,” said Long Beach Police Sergeant Aaron Alu.
Officers will look for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment while checking drivers for proper licensing. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving.
Funding for the checkpoint is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
