Fountain Valley DUI Checkpoint Coming
The location of the checkpoint will be made available that day
The Fountain Valley Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint on April 20 between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. The location of the checkpoint will be made available the day of the checkpoint by contacting the Police Department.
The department is continuing its ongoing campaign to reduce the number of people killed and injured in alcohol-involved crashes. DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as bring awareness to our community of the dangers of impaired driving.
Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have resulted in 83 injury crashes, harming 107 Fountain Valley residents. A DUI arrest costs upwards of $10,000, time in jail and the loss of the offender's driver’s license, including years of increased insurance rates.
