Santa Rosa police will be conducting a DUI/license checkpoint on Friday night.

As is typical, police declined to say where the checkpoint will be, but it will go from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.

“It is the Santa Rosa Police Department’s goal to continue providing public awareness on the dangers of drinking and driving and the laws concerning driving without a driver’s license,” Sgt. Rich Celi said in a statement. “Motorists approaching a checkpoint will observe traffic signs, information and police officers advising that a checkpoint is ahead. Once diverted into a lane, motorists will be delayed a moment while an officer explains the purpose of the checkpoint.”

The checkpoint, including the officers’ overtime, is paid for by a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
