DUI / Driver’s License Checkpoint
On Friday, February 21, 2014, the Bakersfield Police Department Traffic Enforcement Detail
will be conducting a DUI / Driver’s License Checkpoint in the greater Bakersfield area.
This DUI / Driver’s License checkpoint is an effort to reduce the number of persons injured
or killed each year in DUI related collisions, as well as insuring that motorists on city streets
are in possession of a valid driver’s license. A major component of DUI checkpoints is to
increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated
drivers.
