PRESS RELEASE: Colorado State Patrol - The Colorado State Patrol joined the Fort Morgan Police Department, the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office, the Brush Police Department, and the 13th Judicial District Attorney’s Office to conduct a sobriety checkpoint on Friday, August 28, 2026, through the early morning hours of Saturday, August 29. The checkpoint locations are chosen based on DUI crash and arrest history. One in three fatal vehicle crashes in Colorado involves an impaired driver.
The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote public safety by discouraging motorists from driving impaired. Through high-visibility, responsible-driving enforcement events, troopers will also address those who make the poor decision to drive while intoxicated. During the checkpoint, troopers and officers will look for signs that drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
The Morgan County checkpoint was located at Highway 34 and Industrial Drive in Fort Morgan. As a result of the DUI Enforcement Operation:
Contacts: 330
Roadsides: 2
Arrests: 0
The Colorado State Patrol is dedicated to the continued fight against driving under the influence and will strictly enforce the law across the state.
