During the weekend of March 15 through March 17,
the North
Penn Area DUI Task Force will be conducting roving DUI patrols within
Hatfield, Franconia, Upper Gwynedd, Marlborough, Towamencin, Lansdale and other
jurisdictions in the North Penn Area. This effort is to identify and
remove impaired drivers from the roadway, which include Pennsylvania State
Route’s 63, 463, 113 and 309, as well as other state, county and local
roadways. The purpose is to provide a police presence on the roadways

In addition to driving under the influence, enforcement will also include aggressive driving, unlicensed or suspended operator licenses, proof of insurance, vehicle registration, vehicle equipment and other traffic violations.
The North Penn DUI Task Force would also like to remind those who chose to drink, not to drive and seek other transportation options that are available.
Anyone with questions concerning this event, please contact Corporal Michael Sloan of the Hatfield Township Police Department at (215) 855-0903.
