The Oklahoma Highway Patrol ENDUI team will partner with the Guthrie Police Department to conduct a sobriety checkpoint and high-visibility patrols in Guthrie on Friday, Nov. 22.
The checkpoint will run from 11 p.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday. The high-visibility DUI patrols will take place across Guthrie and Logan County from 6 p.m. Friday until at least 4 a.m. Saturday.
In 2018, 331 people were killed in alcohol and/or drug-related crashes in Oklahoma. This is an increase from 2017, especially with drug-related crashes. These activities are meant to help get people home safe by getting impaired drivers off the roads.
A high-visibility patrol means that additional troopers and officers will be on duty looking for impaired drivers across the area before, during and after the checkpoint.
The ENDUI enforcement team coordinates multi-jurisdictional events on a regular basis, including sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. These efforts are needed to impact Oklahoma’s impaired driving problem across the state. The locations of these activities are driven by data from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office and by local request.
