These grant funds are to be used to help reduce and mitigate the impacts of impaired driving in our community. The grant funds will support Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driver's License checkpoints and regular DUI saturation patrols. Napa Police Department officers and supervisors will receive additional training in drugged driving, impaired driving and traffic safety.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This grant positively impacts the Non-Recurring General Fund and increases the Napa Police Department FY 2024/25 expenditure budget by $196,123.89 over a one-year period, offset by reimbursement from the California Highway Patrol.
