NEWS RELEASE

 

SUBJECT:

Kingsport Police to Conduct Sobriety Checkpoint

DATE:

August 22, 2023

 

 

 

 

GENERAL NARRATIVE

In the ongoing effort to reduce the dangerous problem of Driving Under the Influence and resulting crashes, injuries, and deaths, the Kingsport Police Department will be conducting a Sobriety Checkpoint on Friday, September 1, 2023. This Checkpoint will be held at an undisclosed time within the Lynn Garden Community, or the Fort Henry Drive corridor of Kingsport.

 

Beyond the risk of serious injury or death associated with impaired driving, being convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs can impact your life in many ways, including loss of current employment, prevention of future employment in certain jobs, higher insurance rates, serious financial setbacks, personal and family embarrassment, and incarceration.

 

The Kingsport Police Department continues to emphasize to citizens that Tennessee D.U.I. laws apply not just to drinking alcohol, but to ingesting any substance that impairs the driver’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, including illegal drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, as well as prescription drugs, even if they are prescribed by a physician.

NEWS RELEASE

 

SUBJECT:

Kingsport Police Department Increases Impaired-Driving Enforcement

    DATE:

08/10/2023

 

 

 

 

GENERAL NARRATIVE


The Kingsport Police Department is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) for its “Booze It and Lose It” campaign from August 16 to September 4, 2023, surrounding the Labor Day holiday. This initiative coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization to increase impaired-driving enforcement nationwide.

Increased state and national messaging about the dangers of drunk driving, coupled with increased sobriety checkpoints and high visibility enforcement, aim to drastically reduce the number of drunk-driving crashes, injuries, and fatalities this year.

 

The consequences of a single DUI conviction for a first-time offender in the state of Tennessee may include costly fines, court costs, legal fees, jail time, mandatory drug and alcohol treatment, and/or the installation of an ignition interlock device in his/her vehicle.

 

The THSO provides grant funding to support the Kingsport Police Department’s increased enforcement efforts during the “Booze It and Lose It” campaign. For more information about the THSO, please visit www.tntrafficsafety.org.
