Community: Press Release – DUI Checkpoint, August 19

DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint Planned this Friday

The Newport Beach Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Friday, August 19, 2016 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.
