This holiday season, ensuring a designated driver or arranging alternative transportation is crucial if you plan on celebrating. The Maricopa Police Department is intensifying efforts to address drunk driving incidents during this period.
Announced in a recent press release, the department will establish DUI checkpoints at undisclosed locations within the city before the year concludes. This initiative aligns with previous campaigns aimed at curbing drinking and driving incidents.
Emphasizing public safety, the checkpoints are not solely intended for making arrests but serve as a deterrent against impaired driving. Officers will be vigilant for any indications of substance use among motorists.
Maricopa Police Chief Goodman highlighted the primary focus of these checkpoints—identifying drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Signs of impairment, such as erratic driving, slurred speech, or the smell of alcohol, will prompt further investigation.
When suspicion arises, officers may conduct field sobriety or alcohol screening tests in accordance with state law. Goodman clarified that the department follows specific methods during these checkpoints to ensure fairness and compliance.
Additionally, MPD officials cautioned about the potential impact of prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and cannabis use on driving abilities. While the legalities around cannabis use may differ, driving under its influence remains illegal.
They urge individuals to designate a driver if they plan on consuming alcohol, taking restricted medications, or using narcotics. Goodman reiterated the department’s stance: driving under the influence is a serious risk to community safety and should be avoided at all costs.
