Four impaired drivers arrested during DUI checkpoint and saturation.
On November 15, 2024, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., the Oxnard Police Department, in collaboration with the Ventura Police Department, held a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint at Wooley Road and “A” Street in Oxnard. There was also a simultaneous city-wide DUI saturation. The operation resulted in four arrests for impaired driving, two citations for driving while suspended, and fourteen 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.
