Morris County Prosecutor’s Office announces upcoming DWI checkpoint in Jefferson Township
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Chief of Detectives Robert McNally, and Jefferson Police Chief Paul Castimore announce the implementation of a joint Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) checkpoint in Jefferson Township, for the weekend of Dec. 13 through Dec. 15.
Law enforcement personnel from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Jefferson Police Department will conduct the checkpoint at a not-to-be-disclosed location, Carroll said.
The DWI checkpoints are funded through grants received by the Prosecutor’s Office from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. These grants support conducting checkpoints in cooperation with municipal police departments across Morris County. The grant will remain in effect until the end of September 2025, Carroll said.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office has previously coordinated sobriety checkpoints in various municipalities throughout the county and intends to continue these efforts with advance public notice, Carroll said.
“Impaired and drunk driving remains a serious threat to public safety, and combined with the increasing dangers of distracted driving due to cell phones, these operations remain essential in protecting our citizens,” Carroll said.
