Impaired driving crashes result in tens of thousands of injuries and thousands of lives lost every year. stopping and arresting a drug- and/or alcohol-impaired driver may seem to be a simple process. in fact, it is a series of procedures that are dictated by complex state and local laws. before addressing the issue of impaired driving enforcement, it is important for law enforcement to consider all components involved in successfully deterring the impaired driver. High visibility enforcement efforts accompanied by aggressive media coverage of enforcement efforts, public awareness, and education are essential to a comprehensive impaired driving campaign. These tools have proven effective in reducing impaired driving, and were documented in the Checkpoint Tennessee Evaluation Project. This document will provide guidance to law enforcement agencies on how to adequately coordinate the planning, operation, data collection, and actions of conducting low-staffing sobriety checkpoints. |
