The LAPD conducts DUI checkpoints during Christmas and New Year for a crucial reason – to enhance public safety. The holiday season often sees an increase in social gatherings and festivities, leading to a higher likelihood of impaired driving incidents. By strategically implementing DUI checkpoints, the LAPD aims to deter and identify drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

These checkpoints serve as a preventive measure, discouraging individuals from making the dangerous choice of driving while impaired. The goal is to create a visible presence of law enforcement, reminding the public to celebrate responsibly and prioritize the safety of themselves and others on the road.

Ultimately, the LAPD’s initiative aligns with a broader commitment to reducing the risk of accidents, injuries, and fatalities associated with impaired driving during this festive period. Through proactive measures, they strive to contribute to a safer and happier holiday season for everyone in Los Angeles.

As the holiday season rolls around, it brings joy and festivities, but it also comes with potential dangers on the roads. Shockingly, in December 2021, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported a devastating toll of 1,013 lives lost in the United States due to alcohol-impaired-driving crashes.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is stepping up to address this critical issue. They want to emphasize the risks of driving impaired and encourage everyone to celebrate the holidays responsibly by avoiding driving under the influence.

Starting from December 13, 2023, until New Year’s Day, the LAPD will deploy additional officers on patrol. These officers will be actively seeking out drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. This heightened enforcement is part of a nationwide initiative known as “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” The primary aim is to intervene and apprehend suspected impaired drivers, thus safeguarding the lives of others on the road.

So, this holiday season, let’s ensure our celebrations are filled with joy and responsibility. Don’t risk the safety of yourself and others by getting behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking. Choose alternative transportation options, like designated drivers or rideshares, and contribute to making our roads safer for everyone.

Be sure to plan your routes accordingly and, most importantly, celebrate responsibly. Don’t let the festivities turn into regrets – use a designated driver, rideshare, or public transport if you’ve been indulging in holiday spirits. Here’s to a safe and joyful holiday season on the LA roads! 🚗🎉 #DriveSafeLA #SafeHolidays
