Two impaired drivers arrested during DUI checkpoint and saturation.
On February 22, 2025, between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., the Oxnard Police Department held a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint at Vineyard Avenue and H Street. A simultaneous city-wide DUI saturation was also conducted. The operation resulted in two arrests for impaired driving, and 12 citations for various violations including 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.
