The Oceanside Police Department will conduct a DUI checkpoint this week with support from other law enforcement agencies.

The checkpoint will take place from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday at an undisclosed location in Oceanside, according to the department.

Police officials said DUI checkpoint locations are selected based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes.

“Although DUI incidents are commonly associated with alcohol, many prescription medications are also impairing substances,” the department said.

“While a limited amount of cannabis is legal for adults 21 years of age and older to possess, it is unlawful to drive while under the influence of cannabis.”
