DUI Checkpoint Saturday Night, Sunday Morning

A DUI/driver’s license checkpoint will be set up by the Manhattan Beach Police Department on Saturday, beginning at 8 p.m. and lasting through 3 a.m. Sunday.

Police want to re-iterate their "zero tolerance" stance, promote public safety, increase awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, and deter impaired and unlicensed driving, according to a press release.

The police department encourages designating a sober driver, and believes that by "publicizing these educational and enforcement efforts," drinking and driving as well as driving while unlicensed will be reduced.

“If you are over the legal limit, you will be arrested,” reads the statement.

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

Other local law enforcement personnel will participate in the checkpoint.
