The South Windsor Police Department will host a DUI checkpoint in conjunction with Metro Traffic Services on Thursday, July 24, according to a police press release.
The checkpoint will begin at 7 p.m. on one of the state highways (Route 5, Route 30 or Route 194). Officers will be looking for operators who are under the influence of alcohol, and will be enforcing other Connecticut motor vehicle laws as well. The event is made possible by a grant from the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
Metro Traffic Services is a regional traffic unit comprised of members of local police departments. The unit focuses on proactive enforcement of traffic laws, including commercial vehicle enforcement. The regional team lends support to other towns with accident reconstructionists, manpower and specialized equipment for traffic enforcement and serious motor vehicle accident investigation.
