FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 10, 2012
On Friday, May 11th, 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 part of 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 the public to designate
sober, licensed 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.
