CHP Distributes Grants to Local Law Enforcement Agencies for Anti-DUI Ops
RIVERSIDE (CNS) - Eight law enforcement agencies in Riverside County
were among nearly 150 recipients of grants administered by the California
Highway Patrol for anti-driving under the influence operations and educational
campaigns, it was announced today.
``This funding represents a major step forward in our ongoing mission
to save lives and prevent impaired driving,'' CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee
said. ``With over $35 million going to public safety partners across the state,
we're expanding our reach like never before. These resources will help those on
the front lines keep California's roads safer for everyone.''
The 2025 Proposition 64 grants include funds for toxicology laboratory
analysis, educational campaigns highlighting the perils of drinking, or
drugging, and driving, autopsies, high-density patrols to crack down on DUI
activity and public service announcements, officials said.
The Blythe Police Department, Cathedral City Police Department, Corona
Police Department, Indio Police Department, Menifee Police Department,
Murrieta Police Department, Riverside County Sheriff's Department and Riverside
Police Department comprised a small portion of the list of recipients, though
specific disbursals to the agencies were not provided.
Prop 64, the Control, Regulate & Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act,
approved by voters statewide in 2016, included provisions for revenue collected
on cannabis sales to be distributed in support of law enforcement operations.
The CHP will begin accepting agencies' requests for grant funding in
2026 sometime in January or February.
More information will be available via the CHP's website at
