Sometime during the month of November the St. Joseph Police department said it will be teaming up with the Northwest Missouri DWI Task Force to hold a sobriety checkpoint.

Police said the goal of the checkpoint is to take impaired drivers off the roads making them safer.

“If you find yourself in a checkpoint please pay extra attention to the posted signs and the officer working to make your community safer,” the department said in a news release. “The goal is to reduce drunk/impaired driving. We encourage the use of a designated driver or a taxi cab if you are going out. Please remember drive sober and always wear you seatbelt.”
