The Sheriff’s Office designed the checkpoints to raise public awareness and to discourage impaired driving.
“Our ultimate goal is to ensure the roads are safe for all motorists by achieving voluntary compliance with the drinking and driving laws,” said Loudoun County Sheriff Steve Simpson. “If you drink and drive, we’re going to catch you,” Simpson warned.
Members of the Sheriff’s Office Auxiliary Unit and volunteers from the Loudoun Chapter of MADD will assist with the checkpoint.
The Sheriff’s Office currently conducts one checkpoint per month throughout the year and holds additional checkpoints during the holidays.
