Sobriety and Driver’s License Checkpoint Notification

The Chico Police Department will conduct a sobriety and driver’s license checkpoint on Memorial Day, Monday May 30th , 2022 in the 200 block of East Avenue. It will begin at 8pm and will run for approximately 4 hours. Traffic flowing through the checkpoint will be contacted by uniformed officers, who will be checking for alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers. Officers will also check to make sure all drivers have a valid driver’s license.

The purpose of the checkpoint is to promote public safety; increase awareness of the dangers associated with drinking and driving and serves as a deterrent to potential impaired and unlicensed drivers.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Highway Patrol.

Please direct any inquiries to Sergeant Todd Lefkowitz at (530) 897-4974. Media is encouraged to attend the checkpoint in an effort to spread awareness about the impacts of drinking and driving.
