Long Beach Police to Conduct DUI Checkpoint Tomorrow

Long Beach, CA — On Thursday, June 26, 2025, the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) will be conducting a Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driver License (CDL) checkpoint in the East Division area. The checkpoint will operate from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. as part of the department’s continued efforts to promote road safety.

Checkpoint locations are selected based on data identifying areas with a high frequency of impaired driving-related crashes. According to the LBPD, the primary goal of these operations is to reduce the number of impaired drivers on the road and enhance public safety.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” said Commander Jeremy Boshnack. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

The department also reminds the public that impairment goes beyond alcohol. Prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and marijuana—both medicinal and recreational—can all impair a driver’s ability. While marijuana use may be legal, driving under its influence remains against the law.

First-time DUI offenders can face up to $13,500 in fines and penalties, in addition to a suspended driver’s license.

This DUI/CDL checkpoint is made possible through funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety, provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

LBPD encourages all motorists to drive responsibly and help keep Long Beach roads safe.
