State Police Planning DUI Checkpoint In Bucks County

DUBLIN, PA – The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Troop M – Dublin has scheduled a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) checkpoint to be conducted between Friday, July 24, and Sunday, July 26, in Bucks County.

A sobriety checkpoint is a traffic safety checkpoint wherein Troopers systematically stop vehicles at selected locations to briefly observe drivers for articulable facts and/or behaviors normally associated with alcohol or drug impairment.

The goal of a sobriety checkpoint is to reduce the number of alcohol- and drug-related fatal and serious crashes, and to reduce the number of DUI drivers on Pennsylvania’s highways.

"The Pennsylvania State Police is committed to maintaining a safe environment for the motoring public. This sobriety checkpoint is intended to achieve this goal," the State Police said in a release announcing the checkpoint.
