DISCUSSION: Background: The City of Newport Beach has received a grant award from the State of California, Office of Traffic Safety. The grant will provide for three DUI sobriety checkpoints. Sobriety checkpoints have long been held to be a successful DUI awareness program for law enforcement. The Police Department has conducted a number of checkpoints during the past five years, in conjunction with other traffic safety grants. This year, law enforcement agencies throughout California will participate in "You Drink & Drive, You Lose," a Statewide and national mobilization campaign during 18 -day periods in May, August, and December of 2005. Agencies will conduct checkpoints during these timeframes in order to send a more unified message to drivers not to drink alcohol and drive. The incurred costs for staffing the checkpoints will be reimbursable by the State. A media release will be issued by the Police Department just prior to the enforcement period (as we have in all cases) in order to increase awareness and obtain voluntary compliance from the Community. Also, as in the past, members of MADD will participate in the checkpoint operations on a voluntary basis.
