| Community: #LASD Compton Station DUI/CDL Checkpoint, City of Compton, Thursday, August 20, 2015, Nets 26 Arrests Dear Pepperdine Libboard, Compton, CA - Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Compton Station conducted a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on August 20th 2015 on Rosecrans Avenue just west of Dwight Avenue between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public. 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. 752 Vehicles through the Checkpoint 622 Drivers Checked at the Checkpoint 4 DUI –Alcohol Suspect Arrested 12 Unlicensed Drivers were Arrested and Sent to Court 9 Vehicles were released per Checkpoint Release Procedures 8 Drivers were arrested for driving on a suspended driver’s license 8 Vehicles were impounded per checkpoint procedures 1 Driver was cited for operating a vehicle out of class 1 Driver was arrested for having a $40,000 warrant The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting additional DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols throughout the upcoming year in our ongoing commitment to lowering deaths and injuries upon our streets and highways.
