DUI Checkpoint In Elk Grove Tonight

The Elk Grove Police will conduct a drivers licence and sobriety enforcement checkpoint this evening in Elk Grove from 8:00 pm to 3:00 am.

As a matter of policy, the department does not reveal where the checkpoint will be conducted.

Funding for the enforcement checkpoint will be funded 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.

“Make no mistake. Our message is simple. No matter what you drive—a passenger car, pickup, sport utility vehicle or motorcycle—if we catch you driving impaired, we will arrest you. No exceptions. No excuses,” Elk Grove Police Chief Robert Lehner said. “We will be talking to drivers, making sure they are not impaired, arresting those who are, and getting the word out that impaired driving and driving without a proper license is not acceptable in Elk Grove.”
