State troopers from Troop B in Bedford and the Manchester Police Department will conduct the checkpoint somewhere in the Queen City.

“The checkpoint is authorized by the Hillsborough County Superior Court, and will be conducted under guidelines promulgated by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office,” Callinan noted. “The New Hampshire State Police and the Manchester Police consider the identification and apprehension of impaired drivers and enforcement of the Driving While Intoxicated statutes to be a top priority. Sobriety checkpoints are one of the best methods of deterring the impaired driver.”

Recent sobriety checkpoints in Bristol, Seabrook, Portsmouth, New Hampton, and Bow, have resulted in a number of drunk driving and drug arrests, according to reports.
