For immediate release:

RPD schedules weekend sobriety checkpoint

Redlands Police will conduct a grant-funded sobriety/drivers license checkpoint beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, through 4 a.m. Saturday, on northbound Church Street between Brockton and Lugonia avenues.

On Monday, Jan. 23, officers on grant-funded overtime cited 31 drivers for violations including speeding, running red lights and stop signs, illegal U-turns on Pioneer Avenue in front of Citrus Valley High School, talking on cell phones and failing to yield for pedestrians in crosswalks.

DUI checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Officers contact drivers passing through the checkpoints for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Grant-funded Drug Recognition Experts staff most of the checkpoints.

DUI checkpoints, along with regularly scheduled high visibility DUI enforcement, are proven strategies with the goal of removing impaired drivers from the road and heightening awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), sobriety checkpoint programs can yield considerable cost savings: $6 for every $1 spent.

In December 2009, 753 people were killed nationwide in crashes that involved drivers or motorcycle riders with blood alcohol concentrations of .08 or higher. In California, 57 individuals died on the state’s streets and highways.

The Redlands Police Department recommends the following simple tips to avoid arrest for driving under the influence or, worse, being involved in a DUI collision:

* Plan a safe way home before you drink;
* Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home;
* If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
* Use a local sober ride program;
* If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement, Call 911; and
* If you think a friend or family member has had too much, they probably have. Help him or her make other arrangements to get home safely.

The national Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown is led by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and NHTSA, with the California Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign combining high-visibility enforcement and heightened public awareness through publicity.

For statewide and local Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign Enforcement Schedules and Daily DUI Arrest/Fatal Stats, visit www.californiaavoid.org. The Program is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety who reminds everyone to please – Report Drunk Drivers – Call 9-1-1!

Media Notes: To schedule an interview regarding Anti Drunk-Driving efforts, or request a ride-along with law enforcement during the holiday period, please contact Sgt. Ricky Smith at (909) 798-7662 or by email at rsmith@redlandspolice.org.

RUOK? is the Wrong Message to Send this Holiday Season

“RUOK?” is the text message version of the often heard question, “Are you okay to drive?” If you have to ask someone the question, you already know the answer. You know they have had too much to drink or are showing signs of being “buzzed.” You know that they are not OK to drive. Asking the question doesn’t relieve you of the responsibility. Call them a cab, take them home yourself, offer your couch.

DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Grant funded Drug Recognition Experts will be staffing most of the checkpoints.

A DUI / Drivers License checkpoint is scheduled beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, 1-13-12 from 10 pm to 4 am Saturday morning 1-14-12, in the southbound lanes of Tennessee Street between Park and State Street. Driver’s Licenses will be checked.

DUI Checkpoints, along with regularly scheduled high visibility DUI enforcement, are proven strategies with the goal of removing impaired drivers from the road and heightening awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), sobriety checkpoint programs can yield considerable cost savings: $6 for every $1 spent.

Results from this weeks OTS Funded Traffic Enforcement
This past Monday, Officers cited (17) drivers for speeding, (5) for running stops signs and (4) for crossing over the center divider. Officers worked problem areas around RHS, Cope Middle School, Smiley Elementary, San Timoteo Cyn Road, Live Oak Canyon Road and Lugonia Avenue.

In December 2009, 753 people were killed nationwide in crashes that involved drivers or motorcycle riders with blood alcohol concentrations of .08 or higher. In California, 57 individuals died on the state’s streets and highways.

“The message is simple, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Drinking alcohol or being under the influence of drugs do not mix with driving. If you plan to consume alcohol, you should also plan not to get behind the wheel of a vehicle or ride a motorcycle,” said Lt Travis Martinez.
Redlands Police Department recommends these simple tips if you plan on going out .​
• Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin;
• Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home;
• If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
• Use a local sober ride program;
• If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement, Call 911; and
• And remember, “RUOK?” is a ridiculous question. If you think they’ve had too much, they probably have. Help him or her make other arrangements to get home safely.

The national Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown is led by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and NHTSA, with the California Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign combining high-visibility enforcement and heightened public awareness through publicity.
