Ohio law requires that law enforcement announce checkpoint times and locations.

The checkpoints, along with surrounding patrols, are part of a continuing effort to reduce OVI related crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities. Task force officials ask people to dial 911 or #677 if they see an impaired driver — they say “help your community by saving a life.”
