From the Sacramento Police Department:

The Sacramento Police Department will conduct a sobriety and drivers license checkpoint on
Friday, May 29, 2009, at 21st Street and Broadway. It will begin at 9:00 p.m. and run for 4-6
hours.

Traffic flowing through the checkpoint will be contacted by uniformed officers, who will
be checking for alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers. Officers will also check to make sure all
drivers have a valid driver’s license.

The purpose of the checkpoint is to promote public safety; increase awareness of the dangers
associated with drinking and driving, and serves as a deterrent to potential impaired and
unlicensed drivers.

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

Please direct any inquiries to Sergeant David Hargadon at (916) 808-6069. Media is
encouraged to attend the checkpoint in an effort to spread awareness about the impacts of
drinking and driving.
