Unlike traditional sobriety checkpoints, where officers systematically stop vehicles at a fixed location, a DUI patrol detail involves officers actively monitoring traffic for signs of impaired driving.

This enforcement detail is part of the PSP’s ongoing effort to reduce alcohol- and drug-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The agency has ramped up DUI patrols and enforcement throughout November, with the campaign scheduled to continue until November 30.

Drivers are reminded to always make responsible decisions, including designating a sober driver or using alternative transportation options, to ensure the safety of all road users. PSP will is expected to release additional results from the initiative at its conclusion.
