The Clermont Police Department will be conducting a multi-agency DUI/Sobriety Checkpoint on December 18th.

The location will be 1995 S. US Highway 27 for all northbound traffic. The checkpoint will start at 10 p.m. and run until 4 a.m., with law enforcement participation from several Lake County agencies.

The Clermont Police Department conducts these high visibility enforcement checkpoints to spread the message “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” Impaired driving is a deadly epidemic that costs over 10,000 lives each year. In participating in this event, the Clermont Police Department is making a bold statement this holiday season that we have zero tolerance for those who choose to drive while impaired. Help us keep Clermont roads safe; designate a sober driver, use a ride share service, call a friend, or call a cab.
