The LaPorte County DUI Task Force will conduct a sobriety checkpoint on the evening of June 1 at an undisclosed location to detect and arrest drunk and drug-impaired drivers.
The location of the checkpoint is determined based upon crash data, impaired driving arrest data and officer safety.
Motorists will be required to produce their driver’s license and vehicle registration. Task force members will evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment. Motorists who are not impaired can expect a delay of two minutes or less.
The LaPorte County DUI Task Force is a multi-agency group of police officers from the Michigan City and LaPorte police departments, along with deputies from the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office, who work to decrease impaired driving. The task force is a grant project funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is administered and monitored by the Indiana Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving.
