Santa Rosa police will set up a DUI and driver’s license checkpoint in Santa Rosa between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. Friday.

Officers at the undisclosed location will be specifically on the lookout for drug-impaired drivers. Car accidents involving people under the influence of drugs have been increasing throughout the state, Santa Rosa police said.

The last DUI checkpoint Santa Rosa police conducted in June resulted in three DUI-alcohol arrests and two DUI-drug arrests, while 18 drivers were found to be driving without a license and one was picked up for an outstanding warrant.
