San Diego DUI criminal defense attorneys have learned that California DUI police will receive nearly $200,000 for Newport Beach's DUI enforcement program. Orange County's Newport Beach City Council approved the grant Tuesday night.

This California DUI police department will have $192,000 budgeted for California DUI checkpoints, extra patrols focused on California DUI enforcement, from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

The California DUI money comes from the California Office of Traffic Safety. The city pays for overtime costs associated with California Drunk Driving enforcement up front and is reimbursed by the state, according to the City Council staff report.

This California Drunk Driving grant will fund six California DUI checkpoints, 110 California DUI saturation patrols, two California DUI court sting operations, where police hide out near the Harbor Justice Center to catch folks driving to court with suspended licenses.
