Community: Press Release: DUI Checkpoint this Friday

The Newport Beach Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Friday, April 15, 2016 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public. Continue reading→
