Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Responsibly
Chino Hills, California – The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Chino Hills Station encourages the public to celebrate Cinco de Mayo responsibly by planning ahead and designating a sober driver.
On May 5, The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Chino Hills Station will have additional officers on patrol from 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
“Don’t put yourself and others on the road at risk by driving impaired,” Deputy Daniel Hernandez said. “If you’re planning to celebrate with a drink or two, leave your keys at home and designate a sober driver.”
The The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Chino Hills Station wants to remind the community that alcohol is not the only substance that can cause impairment. Prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, cannabis products and other drugs may also cause impairment. If you plan on drinking or taking medications with a driving warning label, let someone who is sober drive. If you see someone who appears to be driving while impaired, call 9-1-1.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
