This year city police agencies, the CA Highway Patrol and the Ventura County Sheriff's Office participated in checkpoints throughout Ventura County during the July 4th weekend.

Beginning December 14th, 2012, there was a countywide crackdown on DUI drivers in Ventura County. 106 drivers were arrested so far during the winter holiday as law enforcement set up checkpoints in the county and many others on the highways. During the holidays especially the police are looking for any sign of drug or alcohol impairment in drivers.
