MOBILE, Alabama -- On Saturday, the Mobile Police Department will hold its third group of safety checkpoints this month, according to a release from the department.

"It's addressing public safety," said Ashley Rains, public information officer for MPD. "We're listening to citizen concerns and cutting down on car crashes."

On March 23, officers will be in "various parts" of Mobile checking seatbelts, child restraints and other safety features, Rains said in a press release. Officers will also make sure drivers are carrying the proper paperwork, such as car registration and proof of insurance, while on the road.

"It's to let people that are treating, say, red lights or stop signs as a suggestion that we're keeping up on that," Rains said.

Police do not confirm or release the locations where checkpoints will or have taken place, however, Rains said officers are focusing on areas with high numbers of citizen complaints of erratic driving.

March 23 will mark the third time officers have check traffic safety through checkpoints this month.

Officials last held safety checkpoints throughout the Port City on March 15 through March 17, netting 14 arrests and more than 700 traffic citations.

Before that, officers ran checkpoints from March 12 through March 14.

In February, only one group of checkpoints was announced, held February 26 and February 28.
