The DUI checkpoint was held in the 1900 block of West Valley Blvd. from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on reported incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off roads. The next DUI checkpoint will be held on 03/15/24.
