The Santa Barbara Police Department will conduct a DUI checkpoint from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday.
Driver’s licenses will be checked.
The department encourages everyone to drink responsibly, pre-arrange for a ride home and designate a driver. DUI enforcement officers will be on patrol throughout the weekend.
Funding for the program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The public is urged to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1.
