Burbank Police’s Traffic Bureau conducted a DUI Checkpoint last week with less than 650 cars passing through during the checkpoints three hours and fifty minutes of operation. One of the reasons for the low volume of cars is people are staying home during the pandemic.

Police set up the checkpoint in the southbound lanes of Glenoaks Blvd., between Cedar and Valencia.  The checkpoint went operational at about 9:25 p.m. and ended at about 1:15 a.m.  This location was picked because of the number of past occurrences that happened in this stretch of Glenoaks.

“There was a large number of rideshare drivers that drove through the checkpoint (always a good sign),” said Sgt. Emil Brimway of the Burbank Police Department.
