DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint Planned this Weekend

The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on October 28, 2017, en un lugar secreto dentro de los límites de la ciudad en el horario de 8:00 p.m. a 3:00 a.m.

The deterrent effect of High Visibility Enforcement using both DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols has proven to lower the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug-impaired crashes. Las investigaciones muestran que los accidentes que involucran conductores ebrios pueden reducirse hasta en un 20 por ciento cuando las operaciones de DUI proactivas bien publicitadas se llevan a cabo de forma rutinaria.

los puestos de control de DUI como éste se colocan en lugares en base a estadísticas de colisión y frecuencia de los arrestos por DUI, que proporcione la mayor oportunidad para lograr borracho y drogado disuasión conducir. Ubicaciones se eligen con consideraciones de seguridad para los funcionarios y el público.

En California, colisiones alcohol involucrados llevaron a 1,155 muertes y casi 24,000 lesiones graves en 2014 porque alguien no designó a un conductor sobrio. En el transcurso de los últimos tres años, agentes de Oxnard PD han investigado 746 DUI collisions which have claimed eight lives and resulted in another 490 lesiones.

Los oficiales estarán en busca de signos de alcohol y / o drogas deterioro, con agentes de control de controladores para la obtención de licencias, retrasar los automovilistas sólo momentáneamente. Cuando sea posible, especialmente oficiales entrenados estarán disponibles para evaluar los sospechosos de conductores ebrios con las drogas, que ahora representa un número creciente de accidentes por conductores con discapacidad.

Los estudios de los conductores de California han demostrado que 30 por ciento de los conductores en los accidentes fatales tenían una o más drogas en sus sistemas. Un estudio de los conductores activos mostraron más dio positivo para los medicamentos que perjudiquen conducción (14 por ciento) que hizo por el alcohol (7.3 por ciento). De los fármacos, marihuana era más prevalente, en 7.4 por ciento, un poco más de alcohol. Todo el mundo debe ser consciente de que si usted está tomando medicamentos - ya sean recetados o de venta libre - beber incluso pequeñas cantidades de alcohol puede intensificar en gran medida los efectos de deterioro.

Los conductores tomados conductores ebrios pueden esperar que el impacto de un arresto por DUI para incluir tiempo en la cárcel, multas, matrícula, clases de DUI, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000 por no hablar de la vergüenza cuando los amigos y familiares se enteran.

The Oxnard Police Department Receives Grant For

Special Traffic Enforcement and Crash Prevention

El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard ha sido galardonado con una $585,000.00 subvención de la Oficina de Seguridad Vial de California (OTS) for a year-long program of special enforcements and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic-related deaths and injuries. The Oxnard Police Department will use the funding as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to keep our roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both enforcement and education.

Oxnard Police Commander Denise Shadinger commented that “through OTS grant funding, the Oxnard Police Department can supplement enforcement and education efforts to make our roadways safer for our community.” Commander Shadinger also expressed gratitude for “the support from OTS and mutual commitment to creating safer roadways for our motorists through collision and impaired driving reduction.”

After falling to a ten year low in 2010, the number of persons killed on roadways has climbed nearly 17 percent across the state, con 3,429 fatalities in 2015. Particularly alarming is the rise in pedestrian and bicycle fatalities that now comprise nearly 25 percent of all traffic deaths, along with the growing dangers of distracting technologies and the emergence of drug-impaired driving. This grant funding will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as speeding and crashes at intersections.

“Unsafe behaviors account for 94 percent of traffic crashes,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “This grant emphasizes the two most effective ways to change behaviors – education and enforcement. El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard, with assistance from the Office of Traffic Safety, will use these tools to help keep Oxnard streets safe.”

Las actividades que la subvención financiará incluyen:

Educational presentations
DUI checkpoints
Patrullas de saturación DUI
Bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement
Motorcycle safety enforcement
Distracted driving enforcement
Seatbelt and child safety seat enforcement
Speed, red light, and stop sign enforcement
Warrant service on multiple DUI offenders

While alcohol remains the worst offender for DUI crashes, the Oxnard Police Department supports the new effort from OTS that aims to drive awareness that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription medications and marijuana can also be impairing by themselves, or in combination with alcohol, and can result in a DUI arrest.

Los fondos para este programa es de la Oficina de Seguridad Vial de California a través de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial.

Heat Exhaustion

Symptoms include heavy sweating, pale and clammy moist skin, extreme weakness or fatigue, muscle cramps, headache, dizziness or confusion, nausea or vomiting, fast and shallow breathing, or fainting.
First Aid: Heat exhaustion should be treated immediately with rest in a cool area, sipping water or a sports drink, applying cool and wet cloths.
If left untreated, victims may go into heat stroke.
Seek medical attention if the person does not respond to the above, basic treatment.

Heat Stroke

Symptoms include flushed, hot, moist skin or a lack of sweat, high body temperature, confusion or dizziness, possible unconsciousness, throbbing headache, rapid, or strong pulse.
Heat stroke is the most severe heat-related illness and occurs when a person’s temperature control system, which produces sweat, stops working.
Heat stroke may lead to brain damage and death.
First Aid: Llamada 911. Move victim to a cool shaded area. Fan the body, and spray body with water.

Staying Healthy and Hydrated

The best way to avoid heat-related illness is to stay hydrated. Make sure you look out for your neighbors in the heat! If you see someone who needs help, contact emergency services by calling 911.
