DUI Checkpoint Set for January 27th

Department of Safety and Homeland Security | News | Office of Highway Safety | Date Posted: Tuesday, January 24, 2012



DOVER – The Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign has set a DUI checkpoint for Friday, January 27th. The checkpoint will be conducted by the New Castle County DUI Task Force, in Wilmington.

The Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign is a crackdown on impaired driving.  Delaware will conduct two DUI checkpoints each month until July, when weekly DUI checkpoints will resume.  This campaign is aimed at removing impaired drivers from our roadways and deterring those who might otherwise choose to drive after drinking alcohol or using drugs.

The Office of Highway Safety reminds motorists that traffic deaths kill and injure Delawareans nearly twice as often as violent crimes.
