The Lassen County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Susanville Area, and Susanville Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) and driver license safety checkpoint on May 8, 2026, somewhere within the Susanville city limits.
Often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on our local roadways by intoxicated drivers. The goal of the LCSO and CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each and every motorist. A Sobriety/driver license checkpoint is a proven effective tool for achieving this goal and is designed to augment existing patrol operations. Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or driving unlicensed. Our objective is to remove those impaired drivers before they cause life altering collisions and remove unlicensed drivers who should not be behind the wheel.
