HARVEY COUNTY, Kan. — The Harvey County Sheriff’s Office will supervise a DUI check lane enforcement effort in Harvey County this weekend.
The check lane will begin Saturday evening and continue into Sunday morning.
The enforcement effort will be coordinated with assistance from the Kansas Highway Patrol and other Harvey County law enforcement personnel.
The goals of the DUI check lane are to educate drivers about the dangers of intoxicated driving, ensure the safety of the traveling public and to stop and remove any driver from the roadway who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The Sheriff’s Office most recently completed a local check lane this past August. During that effort, law enforcement personnel made contact with 253 vehicles, resulting in 12 standard field sobriety tests being conducted, two DUI arrests, two instances of illegal transportation of alcohol, one drug possession case and one warrant arrest.
