County and local law enforcement agencies participating in the Kosciusko County DUI Taskforce will continue to conduct roving patrols and sobriety checkpoints during the month of September 2014. This project is made possible through grants received by the Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving.

Law enforcement agencies involved include the Kosciusko County Sheriffs’ Department, Mentone Police Department, Milford Police Department, Pierceton Police Department, North Webster Police Department, Silver Lake Police Department, Syracuse Police Department, Warsaw Police Department and the Winona Lake Police Department.
