Glendale police to conduct DUI checkpoint

Police will conduct a sobriety checkpoint Friday at an undisclosed location in Glendale.

Officers will also check motorists for valid driver’s licenses at the grant-funded checkpoint.

Glendale police arrested 611 motorists on suspicion of DUI during the first six months this year — a higher number compared to the same period last year that was attributed to stepped-up enforcement efforts.

Officers made 356 DUI arrests from January to June last year, according to the Police Department.
