Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and Mount Olive Police to conduct DWI checkpoint December 6-8
MOUNT OLIVE TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, in collaboration with the Mount Olive Police Department, announces the implementation of a joint Driving While Intoxicated checkpoint in Mount Olive Township, for the weekend of December 6 through December 8, according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll.
Law enforcement personnel from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Mount Olive Police Department will be conducting the checkpoint at a not-to-be-disclosed location.
DWI checkpoints are funded by grants received by the Prosecutor’s Office from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety to conduct checkpoints in conjunction with municipal police departments throughout Morris County. The grant is in effect until the end of September 2025, Carroll said.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office has coordinated sobriety checks in the past throughout various municipalities in Morris County, and intends to continue to do so in the future with advance public notice, Carroll said.
“Regrettably, impaired, and drunk driving continues to pose a serious threat and harm to our citizens and now, co-joined with all too many cases of distracted driving because of cell phones, these types of operations to deter such behavior remain useful and necessary to protect the public,” Carroll said.
