The following information has been provided by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department:

The Norco Office of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department will conduct a DUI / Driver’s License Safety checkpoint in Norco on July 11 from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.

DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify DUI drivers and get them off the street, to educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

This checkpoint is part of the City of Norco’s effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved collisions and in collisions with unlicensed drivers.

Traffic volume and weather permitting, all vehicles will be checked and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs. The public is encouraged to help keep the roadways safe by calling 911 if they see an impaired driver.
