Elk Grove Police to Conduct DUI Checkpoint Tonight

The Elk Grove Police Department will be conducting a Sobriety/Drivers License checkpoint on Saturday June 26, 2010 from 8:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. In an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes, sobriety checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving.

Funding for the sobriety checkpoint is provided through a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant that was made available by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
