“Sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols are intended to reduce and eliminate the number of motorists who drive while intoxicated,” the Police Department said.
The Police Department says officers will also be on the lookout for other traffic safety violations such as “drivers using cell phones, and those who fail to properly utilize seatbelts and child safety seats.”
The Police Department encourage those who plan on consuming alcoholic beverages to utilize a ride-share or designated driver, someone who will not be drinking alcoholic beverages for their transportation needs.
