The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road .

   The Glendora Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol . Some prescription medications and over - the - counter drugs may interfere with driving . While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal , driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal .   Drivers charged with a first - time DUI face an average of $13 , 500 in fines and penalties , as well as a suspended license .   This checkpoint will be dedicated to the memory of Kerry Welsh , who was killed by an impaired driver in 2021 .   Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety , through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration .
