Six impaired drivers arrested during DUI checkpoint and saturation.
On April 27, 2024, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., the Oxnard Police Department held a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint at Pleasant Valley Road and Jefferson Square, as well as a simultaneous city-wide DUI saturation. The operation resulted in six arrests for impaired driving, five citations for driving on a suspended license, and twenty-seven citations for driving while unlicensed.
Checkpoint locations are based on a history of crashes and DUI arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.
Funding for this checkpoint and DUI enforcement patrols was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
