Miami Police announce DUI checkpoint in Overtown

From the Miami Police Department:

MIAMI POLICE DUI CHECKPOINT

The Miami Police Department will be conducting a Multi-Agency DUI checkpoint and Saturation Patrol on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at NW 3 Avenue & 14 Street.  This checkpoint will take place in the City of Miami’s Overtown  NET Service area.  The checkpoint will be conducted during the hours of 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM. 

The goal of this checkpoint is to identify and apprehend impaired drivers before they can kill or injure others. The Miami Police Departments will show zero tolerance for motorists who violate Florida’s traffic laws.  Miami Police officers will be on alert to apprehend motorists who are driving impaired and ticket those who are unbuckled. 

This effort is in conjunction with the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over”, “Lets Eliminate Aggressive Driving” and the “Buckle Up Florida: Click It or Ticket” campaigns. 

Members of the local media are invited and encouraged to support our effort by passing this information during their local news coverage.  For additional information, please call (305) 603-6525 or visit http://www.nhtsa.gov/Impaired.
