How checkpoints in California are listed
Police departments, sheriff's offices and the state highway patrol announce checkpoints in California in press releases, on their websites and on social media. Some announce days ahead and some on the day itself.
Tonight shows checkpoints set for this evening, Upcoming shows ones announced for later dates, and the history keeps past ones for reference. When the agency gives no exact location, the listing says Exact spot TBA.
Listings come from those announcements, local news and reader tips that are reviewed before they go up. To hear about a new one as soon as it is confirmed, turn on alerts for your county.
