Sobriety Checkpoint: Coming Soon

From the Mass. State Police:

Colonel Timothy P. Alben, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, announced that a “Sobriety Checkpoint” will be implemented by the Massachusetts State Police on a Public Way in Suffolk County.

The checkpoint will be held sometime between Thursday May 21, and Friday May 22.

The purpose is to further educate the motoring public and strengthen the public’s awareness to the need of detecting and removing those motorists who operate under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs from our roadways. It will be operated during varied hours, the selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary, safety will be assured, and any inconveniences to motorists will be minimized with advance notice to reduce fear and anxiety.

The checkpoint is paid for by a grant from the Highway Division of the Mass. Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.
