Officers screened 655 motorists who passed through the checkpoint and conducted three DUI investigations on drivers who had been drinking alcohol and/or using drugs while driving. Of those investigations, two drivers were arrested for driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, one of which was nearly three times the legal limit and had family members and a small child in the vehicle at the time of the arrest.
 
Citations were issued to 16 drivers for various vehicle code violations. 28 drivers were issued citations for driving without a valid driver’s license, four drivers were cited for driving with a suspended driver’s license, and 10 vehicles were towed from the checkpoint. 
 
The Oxnard Police Department will continue to conduct DUI enforcement operations this year.  These DUI operations are an effort to reduce the number of alcohol related crashes and to make our roadways and community safer.  We also remind people that if they see an impaired driver to dial 911.  These DUI enforcement operations are funded by grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

INCIDENT: Sobriety and Driver’s License Checkpoint 
DATE/TIME: Friday, October 18, 2013 / 8:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M.
LOCATION: City of Oxnard
CONTACT PERSON &
CONTACT INFO:		 Jamie Brown, Senior Officer (805) 385-7749
jamie.brown@oxnardpd.org

DETAILS: The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on October 18, 2013 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 8:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.  

 
The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes.  Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely.
 
“Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions in the City of Oxnard have claimed six lives and resulted in 206 injury crashes harming 293 of our friends and neighbors,” said Senior Officer Jamie Brown.  During the same three year period, there were 1,659 persons arrested in Oxnard for driving while impaired.
 
Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems.  A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent).  Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.
 
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.  Nearly 90 percent of California drivers approve of DUI checkpoints.
 
Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000 not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.
 
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to The Oxnard Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to ‘Report Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1.
