Indiana State Police will set up sobriety checkpoints around Lake County Thursday night as well as conduct roving saturation patrols.
Motorists who are not driving impaired can expect short delays of just two or three minutes at checkpoints, according to state police. All drivers must produce a valid license and registration. If all information is correct and there is no other reason to be detained, the motorist can be on their way.
The public is urged to aid state police in keeping the roads safe by calling emergency 911 or the closest Indiana State Police post when they observe another motorist that might be driving impaired. Give state police a description of the vehicle, location and direction of travel.
