The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has received a federal “Reducing Impaired Driving” grant, which will fund 150 sobriety checkpoints, 75 DUI task force operations, proactive DUI enforcement patrols through September 30, 2015, and at least 100 safety presentations.
More than 1,000 people are killed every year in California in alcohol-involved collisions. Those deaths are in addition to the more than 23,000 others who suffered injuries in an alcohol-related collision. Through this new federal grant, the CHP will continue working to save lives by encouraging motorists to make safe, responsible decisions.
