Haverford Police To Have DUI Checkpoint For Saturday Night

According to a press release to the media, the Haverford Township Police Department will conduct a DUI checkpoint on Saturday night, Oct. 29.

The press release was sent out by the Haverford Township Police Department Wednesday and it did not state at what time or where the checkpoint will take place.

The police department is part of the Northern Delaware County DUI Taskforce, which includes a total of six municipalities—Haverford, Marple, Newtown, Radnor, Springfield and Upper Darby.

“The purpose of the Northern Delaware County DUI Taskforce is to save lives on the roadways and reduce injuries by aggressively enforcing DUI laws. Sobriety checkpoints are a proactive visual deterrent while also removing impaired drivers; roving patrols are traffic details with the main goals to spot and stop possible impaired drivers before they can cause harm to innocent unsuspecting motorists traveling on our roadways,” the press release stated.

The press release also stated the taskforce has charged 63 drivers for DUI, “issued 24 citations for underage drinking, 349 citations and 303 warnings for other motor vehicle violations.”
