For Immediate Release March 6, 2012
On Friday March 9, 2012 the Bakersfield Police Department will conduct a DUI /
Driver License Checkpoint at an undisclosed location in the City of Bakersfield.
This DUI / Driver License Checkpoint is in an effort to reduce the number of
persons injured or killed each year in DUI related collisions. A major component
of this enforcement event is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired
driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of
Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The
public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a
suspected impaired driver.
