Monterey Park Police to Conduct DUI Patrols on November 13: A First-Time DUI Costs an Average of $13,500
The Monterey Park Police Department in Los Angeles County, California, announced on November 10 that it will conduct DUI patrols on Friday, November 13, from 4 p.m. until midnight, looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence.
Police Chief Scott Wiese said impaired driving is preventable and urged anyone who has been drinking or taken impairing drugs to find a sober driver or alternate transportation. The department reminded the public that impairment is not just from alcohol: some prescription and over-the-counter drugs can interfere with driving, and while marijuana is legal, driving under its influence is illegal.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and fees and a suspended license, the department said.
