    The Caribou Police Department, in conjunction with the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety and the 2014 “DriveSober, Maine” impaired driving enforcement campaign, will conduct a safety checkpoint on Routes 1, 89 and 161 and Bennett Drive in Caribou during the weekend of December 20, 2013.
    Police Chief Michael Gahagan said the checkpoint will ensure all motor vehicles, drivers and passengers are in compliance with Maine laws and help keep roads safe for traveling motorists this holiday weekend.     Officers will check for proper seatbelt use, inadequate exhaust and tires, inspection and registration violations, sobriety and other safety-related issues.
