THP sobriety checkpoints for October 2025

JACKSON, Tenn. — The Tennessee Highway Patrol has released a list of sobriety checkpoints across the state for October 2025.

Although sobriety checkpoints remove impaired drivers from road, the primary purpose of checkpoints is to deter driving after drinking among the general population by increasing the perceived risk of being caught and arrested. To do this, checkpoints must be highly visiblepublicized extensively, and conducted regularly, as part of an ongoing sobriety checkpoint program.
