Four impaired drivers arrested during DUI checkpoint and saturation.
On January 24, 2025, between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., the Oxnard Police Department, in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol, held a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint at Harbor Boulevard and Wooley Road. A simultaneous city-wide DUI saturation was also conducted. The operation resulted in four arrests for impaired driving, one felony warrant arrest, one misdemeanor arrest for public intoxication, and twenty-six 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.
