LPS Christmas Check Stop campaign getting underway this weekend
LETHBRIDGE – Anyone who chooses to drink and drive in Lethbridge this holiday season will still see some Christmas lights, but they’ll be red and blue and only visible in their rear view mirror.
The Lethbridge Police Service’s annual Christmas Check Stop campaign gets underway this weekend, and will continue throughout December and into the New Year as part of a targeted effort to get impaired drivers off the road.
Police say that the primary goal of the Check Stop program is to track down, and arrest impaired drivers because of the significant risk to they pose to public safety.
Additionally, police will also be checking for valid documentation including driver’s licenses, vehicle registration and insurance as well as equipment, liquor and other violations.
