St. Patrick's Day DWI Checkpoint Set Up In Belmar, Neptune Area

The New Jersey State Police will set up a sobriety checkpoint on St. Patrick's Day in the area of Belmar and Neptune Township.

The State Police said it's setting up the checkpoint "in an effort to make our roads safer and reduce crashes attributed to driving while under the influence."

If you see a driver you believe is posing a hazard because of poor driving behaviors, the State Police is asking people to call the aggressive driver tip line from a hands-free mobile device to report it by dialing #77.

Be ready to give a description of the vehicle and occupants, a location and direction, and a license plate if possible.

Troopers will be looking for signs of impairment due to alcohol or drugs. If you plan on drinking, State Police say you should have a designated driver, arrange for transportation or stay where you are. "It’s not worth the risk of hurting or killing yourself, a friend, a loved one, or innocent motorist."
