Jackson PD to Set Up DUI Checkpoints
JACKSON, Tenn. – As part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of the citizens of Jackson, the Jackson Police Department will be performing sobriety checkpoints and increased traffic enforcement throughout the city this weekend. These checkpoints will be conducted on September 21 from 11:30 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. and September 22 from 1:45 to 3:30 a.m. During these sobriety checkpoints and increased traffic enforcement, officers will concentrate their 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. This project funded solely by a grant administrated by the Tennessee Governor’s Highway Safety Office.
