COMPREHENSIVE ROADSIDE SAFETY CHECKPOINT

Panama City – The Florida Highway Patrol will be holding a “Comprehensive Roadside Safety
Checkpoint” on Friday, July 1, 2011, between 9:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. The checkpoint location will be
on State Road 22 near Star Ave. in Bay County. There will be approximately twenty-five (25)
uniformed officers participating in the checkpoint.
During the operation, vehicles will be stopped to check for driver impairment. Should
impairment be detected, roadside sobriety testing will be performed on site. Warning devices will be
placed in strategic locations for the safety and protection of the public.
Reducing the deaths and injuries associated with impaired drivers is of the utmost importance
to the Florida Highway Patrol. Through the use of Comprehensive Roadside Safety Checkpoints, we
hope to merge public education and enforcement to achieve a reduction in the deaths and injuries
associated with impaired drivers. Please remind the public to utilize *FHP (*347) if they come in
contact with what they believe is an impaired driver.
