CHP to Conduct Hemet, San Jacinto Valley DUI Checkpoint

From the California Highway Patrol: The California Highway Patrol (CHP) San Gorgonio Pass Area will be deploying a DUI checkpoint in an undisclosed location of the Hemet / San Jacinto Valley area on Friday, June 30, 2017 from 9PM to 3AM.

The sobriety checkpoint will be conducted by numerous CHP Officers who are highly trained in the detection of alcohol and / or drug impaired drivers. Officers will also be equipped with hand held breath testing devices which provide an accurate measure of blood-alcohol concentration of suspected drunk drivers. Offenders will be processed at the checkpoint and booked at either the Southwest Detention Facility or the Larry D Smith Detention Facility.

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

The media is encouraged to attend the checkpoint in an effort to spread awareness about the impacts of drinking and driving. For further information, the exact location of the checkpoint and/or questions, please contact Public Information Officer Darren Meyer at (951) 769-2000.
