The Jurupa Valley Station / Norco Office will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint on Saturday, January 28 between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. at an undisclosed location within the city limits of Norco.

Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.

Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, court probation and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.

A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
