First Fed-EPD Checkpoint This Thursday

Motorists expected to have their papers ready for inspection

The Eureka Police Department will be conducting a sobriety and driver license checkpoint within the city limits of Eureka on Nov. 13, 2008.

Motorists entering the checkpoint can expect to see traffic control patterns, warning signs, and officers on the roadway contacting drivers.

These officers will be screening for signs of intoxication and checking driver licenses. Drivers will be delayed only momentarily as they pass through the checkpoint. Drivers can assist in the process by having their driver's license out and ready to show an officer. The Eureka Police Department has arrested 220 people for DUI so far this year.

The Eureka Police Department is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our roadways.

Funding for the grant comes from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

For further information contact Traffic Officer G. Whitmer at (707) 441-4232.
