Torrance Police Department Targets
Impaired Drivers with Checkpoint

The Torrance Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint


on 9-11-09 from 2000 to 0300. In an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and
injured in alcohol involved crashes, DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders
and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired
driving.

All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local
roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI/Drivers License checkpoint is an effort to
reduce those tragedies, as well as insuring drivers have a valid driver’s license. A major
component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired
driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

A DUI checkpoint is a proven effective method for achieving this goal. By publicizing
these enforcement and education efforts, the Torrance Police Department believes
motorists can be deterred from drinking and driving.

Traffic volume and weather permitting, all vehicles may be checked and drivers who are
under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested. Our objective is to send a
clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming
alcohol and/or drugs – Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest. The public is
encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired
driver.

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic
Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
