Western Alliance Team DUI Task Force
North Hills DUI Task Force
Immediate News Release
The North Hills DUI Task Force will be conducting DUI enforcement detail during the weekend of August 21-23. The North Hills DUI Task Force includes police from the communities of Blawnox Borough, Bradford Woods Borough, Etna Borough, Hampton Twp, Indiana Twp, Marshall Twp, O’Hara Twp, Pine Twp, Richland Twp, Ross Twp, Shaler Twp, West Deer Twp, McCandless Twp, West View Borough, Millvale Borough, Aspinwall Borough, Reserve Township and Franklin Park Borough.
This is the Thirtieth year for the North Hills DUI Task Force and to date, 272 checkpoints/roving DUI patrols have been conducted. There have been 2316 individuals tested for DUI, and of those tested, 1091 have been arrested.
The purpose of the North Hills DUI Task Force is to save lives on the roadways and reduce injuries. Sobriety checkpoints are a proactive visual deterrent while also removing impaired drivers; roving or saturation patrols are traffic details with the main goal to spot and stop possible impaired drivers before they can cause harm to innocent unsuspecting motorists traveling on our roadways. Roving, Perimeter Patrols and or Saturation Patrols are often conducted to compliment a Stationary Checkpoint as well and apprehend those operators that try to avoid the checkpoint and subsequent arrest.
The North Hills DUI Task Force reminds all drivers over the age of 21 to be responsible and NEVER operate a motor vehicle while impaired. Read carefully all instruction labels on prescriptions or over the counter medications and make arrangements prior to consuming alcohol for a designated driver. Don’t risk arrest, injury or death.
