Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Chief of Detectives Robert McNally, and Florham Park Police Chief Joseph Orlando announce the implementation of a joint Driving While Intoxicated checkpoint in Florham Park, New Jersey for the weekend of June 27 through June 29, 2025. This action will be dedicated to the memory of father and daughter, Tim and Bridget O’Donnell.
Law enforcement personnel from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Florham Park Police Department will be conducting the checkpoint.
An awareness campaign was started by Tim’s wife and Bridget’s mother, Pam O’Donnell, to educate the public about the dangers of distracted and impaired drivers. It has helped inspire a renewed commitment by law enforcement to detect and respond to dangerous drivers.
DWI checkpoints are funded by grants received by the Prosecutor’s Office from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety to conduct checkpoints in conjunction with municipal police departments throughout Morris County.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office has coordinated sobriety checks in the past throughout various municipalities in Morris County, and intends to continue to do so in the future with advance public notice. Regrettably, impaired, and drunk driving continues to pose a serious threat and harm to our citizens and now, co-joined with all too many cases of distracted driving because of cell phones, these types of operations to deter such behavior remain useful and necessary to protect the public.
