Sobriety Checkpoints set for Friday, April 30

This weekend, beginning Friday, April 30, local authorities will be increasing enforcement efforts to insure the safety of the citizens of Brownsville and Haywood County.

Officers of the Brownsville Police Department and the Haywood County Sheriff’s Department will be teaming up. Joint enforcement activities will be conducted on Friday, April 30, at 8 p.m. and end Saturday, May 1, at 2 a.m.

Activities will include Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI Saturations. Officers will concentrate their enforcement efforts on removing impaired drivers from the roadways. However as non-compliance with the safety belt and child restraint laws place people in danger, these laws will be vigorously enforced as well.
