The courthouse handling Dublin DUI cases
Dublin DUI cases are filed at the Alameda County Superior Court in Oakland. Dublin uses the Alameda County Sheriff for police services. See the Alameda County DUI defense guide.
The DMV Driver Safety Office
The Oakland Driver Safety Office handles APS hearing requests for Alameda County DUI arrests, including Dublin. The 10-day deadline runs from the arrest date.
You have 10 calendar days from your arrest date to request an APS hearing. Missing this deadline means automatic license suspension beginning 30 days after arrest. Contact the applicable Driver Safety Office immediately or have an attorney request the hearing on your behalf.
Law enforcement and DUI enforcement patterns
The Alameda County Sheriff’s Dublin Division handles DUI enforcement in Dublin — there is no Dublin Police Department. CHP enforces on I-580 and I-680. Dublin’s rapid commercial and residential growth has expanded entertainment and enforcement zones. Hacienda Crossings and Dublin Ranch commercial areas generate weekend enforcement.
How local prosecutors handle DUI cases
Dublin DUI cases are prosecuted by the Alameda County DA’s office. Same county-wide policies apply.
