Pottstown Police Launch Enhanced
DUI Enforcement Campaign

The police departments in the Pottstown area are set to ramp up their efforts to combat DUI and alcohol-related crimes. Over the next week, a multi-jurisdictional DUI enforcement team, known as "Team DUI," will conduct at least one sobriety checkpoint operation. This initiative aims to reduce DUI-related accidents by deterring potential drunk drivers.

In addition to cracking down on drunk driving, "Team DUI" will rigorously enforce all liquor laws, focusing on underage alcohol consumption and the purchase of alcohol by minors. The police are urging residents to designate a driver before consuming alcohol to ensure everyone's safety.
