Full Notification

If you plan to spend time outdoors for backyard barbeques or recreational activities at local parks this Memorial Day Weekend, remember to do so responsibly. Alcohol and marijuana may be included in these gatherings. Tragically, Memorial Day marks the start of California’s 100 dangerous days of summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.

To reduce DUI-related collisions resulting in injuries or deaths, the Inglewood Police Department will deploy additional officers for a DUI / Driver’s License Checkpoint on Friday May 25, 2018 between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. The goal of the checkpoint is to stop and arrest drivers showing signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. The checkpoint will be at an undisclosed location within the city limits and in an area with a history of DUI crashes and arrests.

The Inglewood Police Department joins the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to drive awareness on the best ways to get from point A to point B safely. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, many police and sheriff departments in addition to the CHP will use OTS grant funds for overtime to deploy officers across the state to aggressively ticket or arrest traffic violators. High visibly enforcement operations will be in place all summer.
