| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP B- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: March 17, 2011 Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled for St. Bernard Parish Louisiana State Police Troop B will conduct a DWI Checkpoint on Friday, March 18, 2011 in St. Bernard Parish. The DWI Checkpoint will begin at approximately 8:00 P.M. The checkpoint will be manned by Louisiana State Police Troopers and St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Deputies. Every year on the highways across the state of Louisiana, numerous people are killed or injured by impaired drivers. Sobriety checkpoints are an effective enforcement tool serving as a deterrent to impaired and drunken driving. The task of stopping these impaired drivers is a joint effort of law enforcement agencies and the public. By never allowing an impaired driver to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and reporting dangerous drivers to law enforcement, the public can play an important role in the reduction of crashes caused by impaired drivers. Contact the Louisiana State Police by dialing *LSP or (*577) on your cell phone to report impaired drivers and dangerous roadway conditions. “Alcohol or Drugs, Impairment is Impairment! Drive Impaired Get Arrested" & Remember, the only designated driver is the person who has had NO ALCOHOL.
