The Indiana State Police troopers are participating in a “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement through the Labor Day weekend.
In this enforcement, troopers will be using new portable breath test devices purchased by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
More than 2,600 portable breath tests have been purchased for 150 law enforcement agencies across the state over the past year. The Alco-Sensor FSTs also include passive sniffers that can sense alcohol in the air around a person or an open container.
Over the next few days, expect to see increased sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and saturation patrols.
If you see an impaired driver, turn off the road away from the vehicle and call 911.
