Ten impaired drivers arrested during two simultaneous DUI checkpoints and saturation patrol.
On September 10, 2022, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., the Oxnard Police department collaborated with members of the California Highway Patrol and California State University, Channel Islands Police Department to hold two simultaneous DUI and driver’s license checkpoints. The first checkpoint was held at Oxnard Boulevard and Second Street. The second checkpoint was held at Wooley Road and A Street. Specially trained officers also conducted a citywide DUI enforcement saturation. The two checkpoints and DUI saturation patrol resulted in ten DUI arrests and 41 traffic citations.
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 are provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
