From Independence PD: The Independence Police Traffic Safety Unit will conduct a sobriety checkpoint on Friday May 16, 2008. The purpose of this checkpoint is to identify and arrest drunk drivers before they injure someone or themselves.
It is also a highly visible deterrent to those who may see the checkpoint but not pass through it. The checkpoint will be located on a major street or highway in Independence where DWI arrests and related type crashes are prevalent.
Every effort will be made to not severely disrupt the flow of traffic. Motorist patience and cooperation will assist in this important safety effort.
