CHD/WCPD DUI Checkpoint March 6, 2015

On Friday March 6, 2015 the Walnut Creek Police Department (WCPD) in conjunction with the Center for Human Development (CHD) hosted a sobriety checkpoint on Lawrence Way from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. A total of 1148 cars drove through the checkpoint. Of those, 717 drivers were contacted by officers explaining the reason for the checkpoint. Seven of those drivers were pulled aside to ensure they were safe to drive. Of those seven, four were arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI). WCPD would like to thank all those contacted at the checkpoint. The time spent discussing impaired driving was a minimal delay and numerous citizens offered their thanks and encouragement on our efforts to keep the streets safe from impaired drivers.
