Advance notice of these checkpoints is required by law, but more importantly, it serves as a reminder to the public about the dangers of impaired driving. By sharing this information, shared on social media on Aug. 19, the goal of the Galt Police Departmet is to encourage responsible choices and prevent tragedies before they happen.

Officers are dedicated to protecting the community and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to arrive home safely.

The Galt Police Department thanks residents for doing their part in keeping roadways safe.

This operation is funded by a grant from California Office of Traffic Saftey through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
