Sobriety Checkpoint April 21

CREVE COEUR - The Creve Coeur Police Department will be conducting a safety checkpoint on Friday, April 21 on Olive Boulevard between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.

This special enforcement is designed to make our roadways safer and increase public awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving. By removing intoxicated drivers from the roadways we can decrease the potential for motor vehicle accidents. Partial funding for this project comes from a traffic safety grant program administered by the Highway Safety Division of the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Normal traffic flow will not be severely interrupted, and delays will be minimal. The patience, cooperation, and understanding of all motorists will help make the highways safer for all drivers and passengers.
