San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department/Chino Hills Police Department will be Holding DUI Enforcement Operations
Chino Hills, California -
Additional officers from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department/Chino Hills Police Department will be out on patrol March 17, 2020 to March 18, 2020 looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Patrols will take place in areas with a history of DUI crashes and arrests. In 2018, 1,069 people were killed on California roads in crashes involving drivers who had a blood alcohol content over the legal limit (.08 or above). From August of 2019 to current, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department/Chino Hills Police Department investigated 12 DUI related crashes that injured motorists and damaged property.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department/Chino Hills Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Prescription or over-the-counter medications with an operating heavy machinery warning on the label can also impair. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
If you plan on drinking or are taking medications that can affect your ability to drive, please take these precautions to avoid a DUI:
• Always use a designated sober driver – a friend who is not drinking, ride-share, cab or public transportation – to get home.
• Walking while impaired is also dangerous. Have someone sober walk you home or stay with you until a sober driver is available to pick you up.
• Report drunk drivers – Call 911.
• Hosting a party? Offer nonalcoholic drinks. Monitor who is drinking and how they are getting home.
A DUI charge is not cheap. Drivers charged with DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license and possible jail time.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
