The police department recently conducted its first DWI checkpoint of the Federal fiscal year. The checkpoint was held on hwy 47 north bound. This checkpoint was very successful yielding 3 DWI arrest, 1 drug offense arrest, an open container citation and several other traffic related citations. The police department began conducting checkpoints about 4 yrs ago and had almost no equipment when it started. If you have been through a BFPD checkpoint lately you can see that the department has come along way. The department now has adequate signs, cones, a huge light tower, and a very nice BAT mobile. All of this equipment has been purchased over the years using grant funds. The department has several checkpoints scheduled for the month of December.
