The La Mirada Public Safety Team will be conducting a DUI\/Driver's License checkpoint on Saturday.
In an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol-involved crashes, DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving.
A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.
A DUI checkpoint is a proven effective method for achieving this goal. By publicizing these enforcement and education efforts, the La Mirada Public Safety Team believes motorists can be deterred from drinking and driving.
All vehicles will be checked and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and\/or drugs will be arrested.
The objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and\/or drugs - Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest.
The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 9-1-1 if they see a suspected impaired driver.
Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
For information, contact the La Mirada Community Sheriff's Station at (562) 902-2960.
