When did the Checkpoint Strikeforce Program begin?

The Checkpoint Strikeforce Program began in 2002. This program is designed to enhance road safety through sobriety checkpoints, aiming to reduce the number of alcohol-related accidents. It was initiated as a response to the increasing occurrences of impaired driving incidents and seeks to raise awareness around the dangers of driving under the influence. By implementing these checkpoints, law enforcement can deter drunk driving and promote safer driving practices in communities. The establishment of the program in 2002 marks a significant commitment to enhancing traffic safety measures during a time when many states were recognizing the critical need for improved strategies to combat impaired driving.
