State Police will implement sobriety checkpoints Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20 in Worcester County, Colonel Marian J. McGovern, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, has announced.
The goal of the program is to educate motorists and increase their awareness of the importance of detecting and removing drivers who operate under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, she said.
The checkpoints will be operated during varied hours and the selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary, she said. Safety will be assured, and any inconveniences to motorists will be minimized with advance notice to reduce fear and anxiety, she said.
