McMinnville Police Department will be conducting DUI saturation patrols and checkpoints during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The DUI checkpoints and saturated patrols will be conducted within the city limits. The DUI checkpoints will be set up on South Chancery Streetx and Old Smithville Road. The saturation patrols and checkpoints are designed to make highways safer and to increase public awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving. By removing intoxicated drivers from the roads, police officers can decrease the potential for motor vehicle accidents. The checkpoints and saturation patrols have been hugely successful in Warren County and around the state in preventing fatalities.
