The South Dakota Department of Public Safety is planning 16 sobriety checkpoints in 12 different counties this month.
The checkpoints are done each month as a way to discourage drivers from drinking and then driving.
August checkpoints are scheduled in: Charles Mix, Codington, Davison, Hamlin, Jackson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Meade, Minnehaha, Spink, Walworth and Yankton counties.
The checkpoints are funded by the South Dakota Office of Highway Safety and conducted by the South Dakota Highway Patrol with the help of local law enforcement. Both the Office of Highway Safety and the Highway Patrol are part of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety.
