Five agencies work together on holiday DUI checkpoints

On Saturday, May 28, 2005 the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office along with officers from Arvada, Golden, Lakewood and the Colorado School of Mines will be conducting three mobile DUI checkpoints in the county. Statistics indicate that a high number of DUI arrests in Jefferson County occur in the general vicinity of the selected locations.

The checkpoints will begin at 8 p.m. on May 28 and will conclude at 3 a.m. on May 29. These times were selected because the highest percentage of all DUI arrests made by Jefferson County agencies take place during these hours.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is committed to reducing the number of drunk drivers and alcohol-related accidents in the county. “Our ultimate goal is to eliminate deaths and injuries due to drunk driving. We are committed to serving the public and helping to make the roadways safer“, Sheriff Ted Mink said.

The approximate locations of the checkpoints are:
·        S. Golden Rd. and Summerset Rd. – city limits of Golden
·        44^th Ave. and Eldridge St. – unincorporated Jefferson County
·        9200 block of W. 58 Ave. – city limits of Arvada
