Morris County officials announce the implementation of a joint Driving While Intoxicated checkpoint in Jefferson Township the weekend of August 27-29.
According to county officials, law enforcement personnel from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and Jefferson Township Police Department will be conducting the checkpoint.
DWI checkpoints are funded by grants received by the Prosecutor’s Office from the State Division of Highway Traffic Safety to establish checkpoints in cooperation with municipal police departments throughout Morris County.
The Prosecutor’s Office has set up sobriety checks in the past two years in Chester, Jefferson Township, Parsippany, and Morris Plains.
Further DWI checkpoint dates and locations will be announced in the future.
