CCSU and New Britain police to conduct DWI checkpoint on
September 13 |
NEW BRITAIN –
September 7, 2007 -- In a continuing effort to deter
motorists from driving while under the influence of alcohol
and or drugs, Central Connecticut State University’s Police
Department and New Britain police will conduct a DWI
checkpoint beginning on Thursday, September 13, 2007.
The check point will be located on various streets adjacent
to the CCSU Campus between 9:30 p.m. Thursday and 2:00 a.m.
Friday.
Sergeant Chris Cervoni of CCSU’s Police Traffic Division
notes: “Each year thousands of lives are lost, many more are
injured as a result of alcohol-related accidents. The CCSU
and New Britain Police Departments hope that our combined
efforts will provide a safer community for our students,
faculty, staff and city residents. Both Departments hope
for a greater awareness of the consequences of driving under
the influence and help reduce the loss of lives or injuries
by removing intoxicated drivers from the roads.”
Cervoni also said that, in the next few months, CCSU police
will conduct DWI awareness programs within the university’s
residence halls.
