Guthrie ENDUI Checkpoint and Patrols Planned

Guthrie ENDUI Checkpoint
and Patrols Planned

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol ENDUI team will partner with the Guthrie Police Department to conduct a sobriety checkpoint and high-visibility patrols in Guthrie on Friday, Nov. 22.

The checkpoint will run from 11 p.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday. The high-visibility DUI patrols will take place across Guthrie and Logan County from 6 p.m. Friday until at least 4 a.m. Saturday.

In 2018, 331 people were killed in alcohol and/or drug-related crashes in Oklahoma. This is an increase from 2017, especially with drug-related crashes. These activities are meant to help get people home safe by getting impaired drivers off the roads.

A high-visibility patrol means that additional troopers and officers will be on duty looking for impaired drivers across the area before, during and after the checkpoint.
