CPD to Conduct DUI Checkpoint - June 6
On Friday, June 6, the Claremont Police Department will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the City. The checkpoint will start at 6pm and conclude at 2am. Drivers will be stopped long enough to ensure they are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Officers will also ensure that drivers are wearing seatbelts and possess valid driver's licenses.
The Claremont Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Claremont Police Department by a grant from the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Program.
Coyote Neighborhood Meeting - June 17
Because of our proximity to the foothills, the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, and general mountainous region, coyotes are sometimes seen in town looking for food and water. Join the City of Claremont, Inland Valley Humane Society, and the LA County Department of Agriculture for an informational neighborhood meeting on living with and encountering coyotes. The meeting will be on Tuesday, June 17 at 6:30pm at the Joslyn Center.
