Rialto Police Department Holding DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint June 20th, 2025
Rialto, Calif. – Rialto Police Department will hold a DUI and Driver’s License Checkpoint in the eastern area of the city of Rialto on June 20th, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. Checkpoint locations are chosen based on a history of DUI collisions and arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote public safety by providing educational resources and deterring drivers from driving impaired.
During the checkpoint, officers will look for signs that indicate drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The Rialto Police Department is committed to keeping the traveling public safe. “Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk” Chief Mark P. Kling said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”
Rialto 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 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, stay home. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended driver’s license.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
