CHILLICOTHE, August 13, 2024 — The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) announced today plans to conduct an OVI (Operating a Vehicle Impaired) sobriety checkpoint this week aimed at deterring and intercepting impaired drivers.
The exact county for the checkpoint will be disclosed the day before the operation, with the specific location revealed on the morning of the checkpoint. This strategic approach is designed to maximize effectiveness and surprise.
The OSHP urges anyone planning to consume alcohol to arrange for a designated driver or alternative transportation ahead of time. The goal is to prevent accidents and save lives by avoiding the dangerous and irresponsible act of driving under the influence.
Local law enforcement agencies will provide operational support for the checkpoint to ensure its success and safety.
