The Florida State University Police Department will be conducting DUI Checkpoints on campus the evening of August 27, 2010. The checkpoints will be on Convocation Way in front of the Sandels Bldg. and then move to Call St. in front of Salley Hall. The operation will be part of a “Back to School” theme in conjunction with the Labor Day DUI Enforcement Crackdown and the Leon County Multi-Agency DUI Strike Force operations taking place during the weekend.
“We want to take advantage of this time when students are arriving and get the message out there that drunk driving will not be tolerated. Getting behind the wheel while impaired can be a deadly decision”, said FSU Police Chief David Perry.
FSUPD has recorded 135 DUI arrests so far in 2010 by its officers due to continued focus on enforcement of impaired driving. DUI arrests on or about our campus have nearly doubled already compared to 2009.
“FSU students, faculty, and staff are united in their position regarding impaired driving”, said FSU Police Major Jim Russell. “It is just not acceptable. Impaired drivers risk everyone’s well being”.
The Florida State University Police Department is an award-winning, accredited, full-service law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction on property owned or controlled by The Florida State University.
