🚨FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 26, 2026
DUBLIN AREA TO OPERATE A SOBRIETY AND DRIVER LICENSE CHECKPOINT
A Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoint will be conducted on Friday, August 28, 2026, by the California Highway Patrol’s Dublin Area and Livermore Police Department. The checkpoint will take place within the City of Livermore from approximately 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
As with all checkpoints, the media will be notified in advance whenever a checkpoint is planned. Motorists approaching a checkpoint will see informational signs advising them that a Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoint is ahead. Once in the checkpoint lane, motorists will be delayed only a few moments while an officer explains the purpose of the checkpoint.
The primary objective of any Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoint is to ensure the safe passage of every motorist on our highways. A Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoint is an effective and proven tool to deter driving under the influence and remove unlicensed drivers from local highways. They also help raise public awareness of these most important driver safety issues while augmenting regular patrol operations.
Captain Monahan also emphasized, “We are sending a clear message to all individuals who are considering mixing alcohol and or drugs with driving – it is not worth the risk. Public safety is our top priority.”
Information regarding the specific location of the checkpoint will be provided to “Bay Cities News” and the CHP Traffic Management Center (TMC) approximately two hours prior to the start of the checkpoint. Media may contact the TMC at (510) 286-6923 for the location of the checkpoint.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
