Sobriety Checkpoints are a part of the Republic Police Department's efforts to remove careless and impaired drivers from our highways, and will be conducted at a location which has been found to experience alcohol-related contacts, unsafe driving contacts, and crashes.

Sergeant Brian Sells says, "Impaired and careless drivers compromise the safety of every citizen who travels our roads. We will continue to focus our efforts on making our roadways safer."

The Republic Police Department urges all citizens to help law enforcement efforts to
apprehend impaired drivers. If you suspect a motorist of driving while intoxicated or observe a vehicle being driven in an erratic manner, contact the Republic Police Department by calling 911 or 417-732-3900.

We are all part of the solution. For more information on impaired driving, visit, www.saveMOlives.com
