These checkpoints are currently scheduled to happen in the following counties: Beadle, Brookings, Brown, Butte, Clay, Codington, Fall River, Jackson, Jerauld, Lawrence, Lincoln, Minnehaha, Pennington, Roberts, and Walwort.
The monthly checkpoints are funded by the South Dakota Office of Highway safety and conducted by the South Dakota highway Patrol with the help of the local law enforcement.
