The Hollister-Gilroy office of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be conducting a sobriety/driver license checkpoint on Saturday, Dec. 30, within an unincorporated area of south Santa Clara County. No time or hours for the checkpoint was provided.
"A CHP Drug Recognition Expert, certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), will be on site to provide assessments of any drivers suspected of drug use," the CHP said in a press release. "Officers will have use of preliminary alcohol screening devices to accurately analyze breath samples."
Here is the rest of the announcement from the CHP:
Drivers passing through the checkpoint will be checked for impairment and arrested if determined to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The checkpoint will send a clear message to the community that the CHP will not tolerate impaired driving and will promote awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence.
This sobriety checkpoint is made possible through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration known as, “Statewide Impairment Reduction (SIR)”.
