San Diego Police Department DUI Checkpoints-Beware!

Beware of DUI checkpoints this Fourth of July. The San Diego Police Department is stepping up its efforts to crack down on those who drink and drive this holiday by establishing more DUI checkpoints within the City of San Diego than ever before. The San Diego Police Department is supposed to give the public advance notice of DUI checkpoints, but more often than not, doesn't announce the checkpoints within time required for proper notice by law.

So, beware of DUI checkpoints this Fourth of July. Contact Sgt. Mark McCullough at the San Diego Police Department Traffic Division, (619) 818-4860, if you are going out and want information on where these checkpoints will be staged.

Drink responsibly. If you think you've had too much to drink, save a life, take a cab. The life you save could be your own. Or, even more importantly, it could be mine!
