Montgomery County- The Lafayette District of the Indiana State Police will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint during the late evening hours in Montgomery County on Friday, March 20, 2015.

After the check point, troopers will conduct roving saturation patrols, aggressively seeking impaired drivers throughout the district.
Law Enforcement encourages all motorists to call 911, or the closest Indiana State Police Post, or police department when they observe another motorist that may be impaired. Be prepared to give a description of the vehicle, location and direction of travel.
The Indiana State Police are committed to traffic safety and will continue to conduct saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints to apprehend impaired drivers and to deter others from drinking and driving.
