(Brawley Police Department announces a checkpoint)...A DUI Checkpoint will be held tonight in Brawley.

The checkpoint will run from 8 pm to 12 mid-night at an undisclosed location. The Department says DUI Checkpoint locations are determined on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI Checkpoints, they say, are to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road. The Brawley Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over the counter drugs may interfere with driving. They say while medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is not.
