DUI checkpoints are coming to Broward streets for Cinco de Mayo. What to know about them
Out driving on Cinco de Mayo Friday night in Broward County?
So will law enforcement officers.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office announced a DUI saturation and proactive enforcement plan for Friday’s Cinco de Mayo holiday in several jurisdictions throughout the county.
Officers aren’t saying where. It’s strategic.
“BSO urges the public to please drive responsibly,” the department said simply in a news release.
Miami police have not announced plans for a Cinco de Mayo checkpoint. The department held a DUI saturation checkpoint event around Allapattah neighborhoods on April 28.
