Police to Conduct Sobriety Checkpoint

The Independence Police Traffic Safety Unit will conduct a sobriety checkpoint

themselves.

It is also a highly visible deterrent to those who may see the checkpoint but not
pass through it. The operation will be located in an area of Independence where
DWI arrests and related type crashes are prevalent.

Every effort will be made to not severely disrupt the flow of traffic. Motorist
patience and cooperation will assist in this important safety effort.
