Anderson Police Department will hold a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint somewhere in the City of Anderson, on June 2nd, 2026 starting 6:00 p.m.
The Anderson Police Department encourages the public to be responsible and never drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, including ma*****na. Checkpoint locations are chosen based on a history of DUI crashes, DUI arrests, and traffic patterns. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.
During the checkpoint, officers will look for signs that drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing, delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving, which now accounts for a growing number of impaired driving crashes. Everyone should be mindful that if you’re taking medication – whether prescription or over-the-counter – drinking even small amounts of alcohol can greatly intensify the impairment effects.
If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, plan on staying at home. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Highway Patrol-"Cannabis Tax Fund Law Enforcement Grant".
