DUI Checkpoint in Manhattan Beach This Weekend

The Manhattan Beach Police Department and the Los Angeles County Avoid the 100 DUI Task Force will conduct a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, lasting until 3 a.m. Saturday.

The purpose of the checkpoint is to promote public safety, increase the awareness of the dangers associated with drinking and driving, and deter impaired driving and unlicensed driving, said Sgt. Chris Vargas of the Manhattan Beach Police Department.

"Our 'zero tolerance' approach to enforcement sends a clear message to those who still don’t heed the warning to designate a sober driver before celebrations begin. Simply put," he said, "If you are over the legal limit, you will be arrested.”

Officers from multiple local law enforcement agencies will participate in the checkpoint. 

The public is advised to call 9-1-1 anytime they see a suspected drunken driver.
