The North Dakota Highway Patrol, the Rolla Police Department and Rolette County Sheriff's Office will conduct a sobriety checkpoint and alcohol enforcement saturation exercise Friday and Saturday.
The sobriety checkpoint is dedicated to the memory of Monte Zak, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2004. The checkpoint will be conducted Friday night in Rolette County.
A saturation is conducted by increasing the number of officers patrolling a given area. The NDHP will have additional officers on patrol using an overtime program funded through the North Dakota Department of Transportation. The goal is to provide high visibility enforcement and remove alcohol and drug impaired drivers from the roadway.
