The Los Angeles Police Department will be looking for motorists who are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs this weekend in Sherman Oaks and the department’s Foothill patrol division.

Police plan to hold a DUI checkpoint from 8 p.m. Saturday until 1 a.m. Sunday at Ventura Boulevard at Columbus Avenue, just east of the 405 Freeway in Sherman Oaks.

A DUI saturation patrol is set for 5 p.m. Sunday through 1 a.m. Monday in the LAPD’s Foothill Division patrol area, authorities said.

In saturation patrols, officers hit the streets in search of drivers who are under the influence.

The Foothill area, according to the LAPD, includes La Tuna Canyon, Lake View Terrace, Pacoima, Shadow Hills, Sun Valley, Sunland and Tujunga.

This year to date, according to the LAPD, there has been 1,797 DUI collisions which have killed 13 people and seriously injured 74 individuals.

Funding for the checkpoint is from a California Office of Traffic Safety grant through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
