Officers will be stopping drivers and checking for signs of alcohol or drug impairment between 11 a.m. Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday.

Checkpoints are regularly announced in advance, with police noting that “research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely.”

The checkpoint will be set up in a undisclosed location with a history of DUI arrests and accidents.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
