Checkpoint Strikeforce is a six month long multi-state crackdown on impaired drivers. The goal of this regional sobriety checkpoint campaign, now in its 8th year, is to deter people from driving while under the influence of alcohol, and arrest DUI offenders on Delaware roadways.  The campaign which runs through New Year's Eve involves setting up weekly DUI checkpoints statewide. During peak holiday times such as Labor Day, Halloween, and the month of December. the number of checkpoints will be increased and DUI patrols will be added. Officers participating in the 2008 campaign made 559 DUI arrests.

The states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia make up Region III of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) and are committed to preventing impaired driving no matter where motorists travel in our multi-state area.
