** DUI CHECKPOINT 10/30/2026 **
On Friday, October 30th, 2026, the Colton Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) Checkpoint from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., at an undisclosed location.
DU checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes and arrests. The primary purpose of DUl checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road.
“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk.” Chief A. Vega said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.”
Colton Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational ma*****na are legal, driving under the influence of ma*****na remains illegal.
Drivers charged with a first time DUl face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Funding for this program was provided by the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program through the California
Highway Patrol.
