King City Police Department Will be Holding a DUI Checkpoint on March 14

King City, Calif. – The King City Police Department will hold a DUI Checkpoint on Friday night, March 14 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at an undisclosed location within the City of King.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related

crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints are to promote public safety by taking suspected

impaired drivers off the road.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Sergeant Anthony Shaw said. “Any prevention

measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.”

The King City Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some

prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and

recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a

suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
