| Community: #LASD Traffic Services Detail DUI/CDL Checkpoint, Lynwood, January 15, 2015, Nets 21 Arrests Dear Nixle User, DUI/Drivers License checkpoints have been shown to lower DUI deaths and injuries. A major component of these checkpoints are the deterrent effects it has on those who might drive drunk or drugged impaired, bringing about more awareness and encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Ninety Percent of California drivers approve of checkpoints. 1271 Vehicles through the Checkpoint 910 Drivers Checked at the Checkpoint 2 DUI – Drug (Marijuana) Suspects Arrested 1 DUI – Alcohol Suspect Arrested 1 DUI – Combo (Alcohol/Marijuana) Suspect Arrested. This suspect was also charged with Felony Child Endangerment as he had an infant child in the vehicle.

AS A DRIVER, PLAN AHEAD WITH THESE TIPS:
Arrange rides home for your friends, family, co-workers and yourself before the drinking begins
Identify and provide free non-alcoholic drinks or other promotional items to the Designated Driver
Party hosts and servers must limit drinks to your guests or patrons. Don’t serve more than one or two over several hours.
Cut back on the amount of drinks you plan to bring to the party – and provide plenty of food.
