The checkpoint will be conducted along the West Avenue corridor on Friday, May 27 from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Additional roving DUI enforcement units will also be patrolling the city through the weekend.

In an effort to stay safe this Memorial Day weekend, police are encouraging drivers to plan a safe way home. Arrange a sober ride home, or offer to be the sober designated driver. Always wear a seat belt, and do not call or text while driving. Any form of impaired driving poses a threat to those on the roadway.

Police also urge drivers to slow down and respect posted speed limits, and pay attention to other drivers on the road and avoid those driving erratically.
