The Elk Grove Police Department will be conducting a Sobriety/Drivers License checkpoint on September 17, 2010 from 8:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. In an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes, sobriety checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired 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.
Funding for the sobriety checkpoint is provided through a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant that was made available by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
