DOWNEY (CNS) - The Downey Police Department announced Wednesday that it will conduct a DUI checkpoint later this week at an undisclosed location within the city limits.
The checkpoint will be held Friday from 8 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. the following day at a location with a history of impaired driving-related crashes, according to the department.
"Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk," DPD Chief Scott Loughner said. "Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety."
Impaired driving includes driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and some prescription medication and over-the-counter drugs.
A first-time DUI charge could cost drivers about $13,500 in fines and penalties, authorities said. Impaired drivers could also have their license suspended.
