On September 3, 2004, the Santa Monica Police Department will conduct a “Sobriety Checkpoint” in the 2600 block of Lincoln Boulevard.  The checkpoint is in accordance with a State of California - Office of Traffic Safety grant.  The grant entitled “You Drink & Drive. You Lose” is part of a national campaign to reduce the number of people killed or injured in alcohol-related crashes.  Santa Monica Police Department reminds everyone, “Don’t risk it.  If you plan to drive, don’t drink.”

For more information please contact Sgt. Jay Trisler of the Santa Monica Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Division at (310) 458-8993.
