Franklin County DUI Enforcement — September 2026

The Pennsylvania State Police Chambersburg Station has announced sobriety checkpoints across Franklin County during September 2026. The checkpoints will be conducted on roadways with a documented history of DUI-related arrests and crashes, rather than at random locations, as part of the department's ongoing impaired-driving enforcement in the county.

According to the announcement, checkpoint locations were selected using local crash and arrest data. Specific checkpoint sites and the exact dates within the month have not been publicly released, and troopers are not required to disclose them in advance beyond the general enforcement period.

At a sobriety checkpoint, troopers briefly stop vehicles in sequence to observe drivers for signs of impairment. Motorists who are stopped are required to produce a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance upon request. Drivers may decline to answer additional questions beyond providing this documentation, and a stop that does not raise further concern is typically brief.

The September checkpoints continue the Pennsylvania State Police's ongoing DUI enforcement efforts in Franklin County. No additional specifics about individual checkpoint dates or locations have been announced publicly.
