Promoting Public Safety
The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired. The Rialto Police Department is committed to keeping the traveling public safe. “One bad decision behind the wheel can change lives forever,” said Chief Mark P. Kling. “Our goal is to stop impaired drivers before a tragedy occurs. Driving under the influence is reckless, preventable, and places everyone on the roadway at risk.”
What to Expect
During the checkpoint, officers will look for signs that indicate drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
What is impaired driving?
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.
How to Plan Ahead
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.
