Sobriety checkpoints have been announced for Buchanan County during the month of April.

The Northwest Missouri DWI Task Force said it will be holding checkpoints on Buchanan County Roads sometime during the month of April.

“We appreciate the cooperation of motorists that find themselves passing through a checkpoint. Our goal is to take impaired drivers off the road making them safer. If you find yourself in a checkpoint please pay extra attention to the posted signs and officers working to make your community safer,” the St. Joseph Police Department said in a news release.

Checkpoints for March have already been announced. The St. Joseph Police Department previously said it plans to take part in National St. Patrick’s Day Holiday Crackdown to reduce drunk driving fatalities. That enforcement will be held throughout St. Joseph from March 17-20.
