Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department will man sobriety checkpoints throughout the county to keep impaired drivers off the roads as residents celebrate the end of the year.

 

The department is required to announce the time and date of checkpoints when identifying intoxicated or otherwise impaired drivers is the main reason. For other checkpoints, where deputies are looking for seat belt use, working lights and other safety related issues, no advance notice is required.
