TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- Thursday, March 9, Tallahassee Police will be conducting a safety and sobriety checkpoint in the 2500 block of West Tennessee Street.

TPD released the following statement:

The checkpoint is used for the purpose of detecting drivers who are too impaired to operate a motor vehicle, vehicles with faulty equipment, and those drivers operating a vehicle without a valid license. This checkpoint will be well marked by signage, marked patrol vehicles, and uniformed officers and is designed to have a minimal impact on traffic flow. TPD remains committed, as does the Strike Force, to keeping motorists safe from those drivers who have made the choice to drive impaired. Please plan a safe ride home before you begin drinking, and never ride with someone who is impaired.
