State Police DWI Saturation Patrol Coming To Greater Concord Area

CONCORD, NH — While New Hampshire State Police will be hosting a sobriety checkpoint someplace on the Seacoast this week, they will be holding another DWI saturation patrol in the greater Concord area. The saturation patrol – troopers not stopping vehicles in a specific place but, instead, concentrated in multiple places – will take place sometime the weekend of Aug. 24, 2019, according to Lt. Michael Commerford of Troop D.

"The program, approved by the NH Highway Safety Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, provides federal highway safety funds to support these Saturation Patrols," Commerford said. "The New Hampshire State Police has taken an aggressive stance to prevent persons from driving when impaired. New Hampshire has some of the most aggressive laws in the country to fight impaired driving and the law enforcement community will use those tools to their fullest extent."
