# When does Rhode Island run more DUI checkpoints?

Rhode Island runs heavier checkpoint enforcement around Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day, Super Bowl Sunday, and during major Patriots and Red Sox playoff games. The "drive sober or get pulled over" campaign funds extra patrols during these windows.
