Petaluma police are warning drivers they’ll be holding two DUI checkpoints Saturday night as they look for DUI drivers and those with license violations.
The DUI checkpoints will be held in two locations around town and will run from the evening into early Sunday.
Sgt. Ken Savano said such operations are done to raise awareness of the dangers of DUI and to get impaired drivers off the road.
Officers also check for valid licenses and proof of insurance.
Police agencies don’t reveal in advance where they’ll hold the checkpoint.
The cost of running the checkpoints will be funded by money from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Savano said.
