EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA) - The El Centro Police Department (ECPD) will be holding a driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoint on September 12, 2025.

The checkpoint will be at Imperial Avenue and Holt Avenue from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.

ECPD says their checkpoint placements are based on data of impaired driving-related cases.

Police are reminding the public that impaired driving is not always from alcohol, as certain prescription medication can interfere with driving.

Anyone with a first-time DUI charge can face up to $13,500 in fines.
