A Driving Under the Influence / Driver’s License Checkpoint (DUI/CDL) is scheduled to take place in Malibu overnight on Friday, July 24, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

DUI/CDL checkpoints are intended to screen for drug- and alcohol-impaired drivers, as well as ensure that drivers are properly licensed.

The location for the checkpoint has not been specified. During a checkpoint in June, 10 drivers were arrested, including one under suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Malibu/Lost Hills Station will be conducting the checkpoint, which is intended to deter drivers from operating vehicles illegally, as well as remove those drivers from the road.
