PSP Sobriety checkpoint

Posted by Press Release on November 21, 2018

The Pennsylvania State Police will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint November 21 through November 25, 2018.

A sobriety checkpoint is a traffic safety checkpoint wherein the Pennsylvania State Troopers systematically stop vehicles at selected locations to briefly observe drivers for articulable facts and/or behaviors normally associated with alcohol or drug impaired driving.

The goal of a sobriety checkpoint is to reduce the number of alcohol or drug related fatal and serious injury crashes and to reduce the number of DUI drivers on Pennsylvania highways.

The Pennsylvania State Police is committed to maintaining a safe environment for the motoring public. The aforementioned checkpoint is intended to achieve that goal.
