San Diego dui attorney news
The Montebello Police Department will be conducting a DUI sobriety and driver's license checkpoint this week to kick off its winter DUI enforcement program.
It's also part of the national campaign, "Drunk Driving, Over the Limit. Under Arrest."
Beginning at 6 p.m. tonight, officers will pull over drivers at an undisclosed location, checking for those driving under the influence as well as those without a valid driver's license, said Cpl. R. Yap of the Montebello police Traffic Bureau.
"The department is dedicated to keeping our roadways safe through enforcement and education," he said.
The MPD - in cooperation with the California Office of Traffic Safety, the California Highway Patrol, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the California Department of Transportation - is promoting the use of the 9-1-1 emergency phone number system to report drunk drivers.
A total of six DUI checkpoints be held into 2008 using a $41,837 grant from the Office of Traffic Safety.
The department gets funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The grant is to assist local law enforcement agencies with reducing impaired driving and the number of people killed and injured in alcohol- and drug-related traffic collisions.
