According to the Montgomery County Police Department, tonight (Friday, 12/15/2023) at approximately 10 p.m., officers from MCPD and allied agencies will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location and will conduct focused enforcement on impaired driving laws.
Last month, the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) and the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) activated a “Holiday Task Force” to detect impaired drivers. Considering the start of the holiday season typically sees an increase in the number of fatal alcohol-related crashes, MCPD will establish sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols throughout the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday period.
As part of Montgomery County’s Vision Zero effort to prevent death and injury on its roadways, the County annually implements a Holiday Task Force in which police officers from multiple agencies devote time and attention to detecting impaired drivers. The Holiday Task Force began on Nov. 8 and will operate through Jan. 13.
