No arrests, two drivers cited at Redlands DUI Checkpoint

REDLANDS, Calif. — No arrests were made, and two drivers were cited during a DUI checkpoint conducted by the Redlands Police Department on Friday, Dec. 13.

The checkpoint, held on Brookside Avenue west of Eureka Street, screened 420 vehicles between 6 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. Saturday. Officers issued citations to two drivers for operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license, the city's public information officer, Carl Baker, said in a news release Tuesday.

DUI checkpoints are strategically located based on data about impaired driving-related crashes. Their primary goal is to enhance public safety by removing suspected impaired drivers from the roads.

Funding for the checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
