Palm Springs DUI Checkpoint May 30, 2009

The Palm Desert Police Department, in its continued dedication to public safety, will be conducting a Driving While Intoxicated / Driver’s License Checkpoint on Saturday May 30TH , from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. This checkpoint is part of the ongoing public safety awareness effort being made by the City of Palm Desert. The focus of the checkpoint will be to reduce driving while intoxicated and injury collisions, while removing drunk drivers from the roadway, along with apprehending those driving without a valid license.

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant provides funding to staff checkpoints at various times throughout the year to reduce drunk driving and apprehend drivers with suspended and/or revoked licenses.

The Palm Desert Police Traffic Team consists of two Sergeants, along with the Motorcycle Enforcement Unit and our Traffic Collision Investigation Officers. Members of the Traffic Team investigate traffic collisions, enforce traffic laws, develop traffic flow plans and assist with special events. Our goal is to provide better public safety through Evaluation, Education and Enforcement.
