The Dayton Police Department, along with members of the Combined Agency OVI Task Force of Montgomery County, will operate a sobriety checkpoint tonight from 8 pm to 1 am, first in the area of East Third and Terry Streets and then at South Keowee and East Fifth Streets.
The goal of the OVI Task Force is to reduce the number of alcohol/drug related traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities in Dayton and Montgomery County. Sobriety checkpoints help deter impaired driving and aid in the apprehension of those impaired drivers who make the choice to get behind the wheel and drive. The majority of the deadliest crashes occur on weekends.
