Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department Conducting DUI Patrols During July 4th Weekend
Chino Hills, Calif. - Additional officers from the Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department will be out on patrol on July 2, 2022, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
The Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department remains committed to keeping the public safe when they are traveling.
“We want everyone to be as safe as possible, especially when they are on the road,” Deputy S. Chau said.
Chino Hills Police/Sheriff’s Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, plan on staying at home.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
