The Lowell District of the Indiana State Police in conjunction with the Valparaiso Police Department will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint during the late evening hours in Porter County on Saturday, November 21, 2009.
Drivers that encounter a check point will be required to produce a valid license and registration. Motorists that are not impaired can expect only short delays of 2-3 minutes while passing through the checkpoint. If all information is correct and there is no other reason to be detained, they will be released. After the check point, troopers will conduct roving saturation patrols, aggressively seeking impaired drivers throughout the district.
Troopers encourage 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.
