BALTIMORE, MD – The Baltimore Police Department (BPD) announced plans for a DUI enforcement checkpoint scheduled for July 6, from 7 PM to 3 AM, in an effort to combat impaired driving. The checkpoint will be set up in the 2500 block of Harford Road, a location identified due to a recent uptick in vehicle accidents with injuries.

This initiative is part of a broader campaign to educate the public on the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Officers at the checkpoint will provide educational materials on safe driving practices and the consequences of impaired driving.

Motorists found driving while impaired will face citations or arrest. The BPD emphasizes its commitment to reducing traffic-related fatalities in Maryland by increasing enforcement in high-risk areas and maintaining public safety through such checkpoints.
