SOBRIETY AND DRIVER’S LICENSE CHECKPOINT

The California Highway Patrol (CHP), Napa Area will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) and driver license safety checkpoint on August 27th, 2026, somewhere within the unincorporated area of Napa County.

Each year, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on our local roadways by intoxicated or unlicensed drivers. The goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each and every motorist by targeting roads where there is a high frequency of intoxicated and unlicensed drivers. A sobriety/driver license checkpoint is a proven effective tool for achieving this goal and are designed to augment existing patrol operations. By publicizing these efforts, the Highway Patrol believes motorists can be deterred from drinking and driving or driving without a valid license.

Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs or driving unlicensed. The objective is to send a clear message to those individuals that consider driving and mixing alcohol or drugs, or drive when unlicensed, you will be caught, and your vehicle will be towed.

“Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.”

Note: The media may contact CHP, Napa Area, Public Information on August 27th, 2026, no earlier than 4:00 pm, for the exact location.

The California Highway Patrol continues to make progress in the fight against organized retail crime.

From August 1st–9th, CHP’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force joined more than 100 law enforcement agencies nationwide for the National Organized Retail Crime Blitz, conducting coordinated enforcement operations at businesses, shopping centers, and retail stores across California.

The results:
• 97 suspects arrested, including 8 on felony charges
• More than 8,500 stolen items recovered
• Approximately $1.05 million in stolen merchandise recovered

These efforts build on last year’s success and reflect CHP’s continued commitment to holding organized retail theft suspects accountable and protecting California businesses and communities.
