DUI Checkpoint To Take Place This Week In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — The Wallingford Police Department has announced a DUI checkpoint that will take place on a local or state roadway within Wallingford on Dec. 22.

Funding for this effort has been made available by the police department’s participation in a State of Connecticut Department of Transportation Highway Safety DUI Enforcement Grant, according to Lt. Anthony DeMaio.

“This funding supports the staffing necessary to allow Wallingford Police Officers to specifically dedicate our efforts on DUI enforcement in a continual endeavor to reduce alcohol related accidents and the resulting injuries and fatalities,” DeMaio said in a press release. “The minimally intrusive sobriety checkpoint is designed to identify and remove from the roadway those drivers who are impaired by alcohol and drugs.”
