Lower Merion Cops Cracking Down On DUI Through Sept 16

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA – Police in Lower Merion Township will be out in force to combat impaired driving for the next week and a half.

Lower Merion Township Police will conduct Impaired Driving Checkpoints combined with Roving Patrols in the township from Sept. 6 through Sept. 16.

The weekend initiative is part of a national effort to crackdown on DUI, which featured intensified, highly visible enforcement activities using the tagline "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."

Sobriety checkpoints are highly visible, systematic methods for stopping vehicles to determine whether drivers are operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.

The sobriety checkpoint is being funded by a PennDOT grant and is one of many tools utilized to increase public safety through increased awareness created by high profile enforcement, police said.
