DUI Sobriety Check Point in East Haddam

The Connecticut State Police and East Haddam Police to conduct DUI check on March 26

Deadly combinations of speed, intoxication, lack of seat-belt use and distracted driving needlessly claim the lives of motorists in Connecticut every year. The potential for tragedy is greatly increased when large numbers of people gather for events that historically include the consumption of alcohol.

In an effort to prevent Driving-Under-The-Influence-related accidents, injuries, and deaths, Connecticut State Police personnel, in conjunction with the East Haddam Resident Troopers' Office, will be conducting a DUI check point in the town of East Haddam on Saturday, March 26, 2011.

By detecting, arresting, and deterring those who would otherwise drive under the influence of intoxicating substances, we can make the roadways safer for everyone.

For more information, please contact TFC Jeffrey Rhoades or TFC Steven Bellandese at the East Haddam Resident Troopers' Office, at 860-873-1226.
