Two California DUI sobriety checkpoints will be set up in Petaluma on Saturday, Aug. 30 as part of local law-enforcement agencies’ efforts to assure traffic safety during the upcoming Labor Day weekend.
The California DUI checkpoints are part of a four-day blitz that will begin immediately after midnight on Thursday and end at midnight on Monday, Sept. 1. It is part of "Avoid the 13," the county’s cooperative DUI crackdown, said Jan Ford, public information director for the campaign.
On Friday, Aug. 29, police officers from Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Windsor, Sonoma, Healdsburg and Cloverdale — along with police from the Santa Rosa Junior College District and Sonoma County Sheriff’s deputies — will staff a California DUI checkpoint in Healdsburg from 6 p.m. to midnight.
California DUI Police from Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, the junior college district and Sonoma State University — along with the California Highway Patrol’s Santa Rosa command — are planning saturation patrols throughout the extended weekend. Petaluma police and the other agencies will emphasize DUI enforcement, utilizing officers and deputies working their regular beats.
The California DUI crackdown is part of a nationwide summer DUI prevention effort sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that focuses on combining high-visibility enforcement with achieving heightened public awareness.
Sonoma County law-enforcement personnel made 41 California DUI arrests during last year’s Labor Day weekend, compared with 47 arrests in 2006. No one died in a DUI-related accident in 2007, although one person died the previous year.
This year’s campaign coordinator, Sgt. Steve Bair of the Santa Rosa Police Department, requests citizens to report any observations of impaired drivers.
“Have your passenger dial 911 if you see a car that’s all over the road. We treat these as emergency calls, and will go out after them for you,” he said.
Law-enforcement agencies also plan a 22-day crackdown from Dec. 14 to Jan. 2.
The California Office of Traffic Safety funds the Avoid the 13 campaign through the NHTSA, California DUI lawyers believe.
