The Palm Desert Police Department, in its non-stop dedication to public safety, will be conducting a California DUI Checkpoint this Saturday May 30, 2009 for six hours from eight pm to two am. This drunk driving checkpoint will try to reduce driving while intoxicated and injury collisions, while removing DUI drivers from the roads of California.

Vehicles may be checked and drivers who are DUI will be arrested. Their objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs.

Cash for such a California DUI checkpoint operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The apparently unlimited source of funding provides funding to staff California drunk driving checkpoints at various times throughout the year to reduce drunk driving.
