| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP C NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release September 9, 2010 DWI Checkpoint will not be held in Terrebonne Parish Louisiana State Police Troop C will not conduct a DWI Checkpoint, Thursday, September 9, 2010, in Terrebonne Parish. The Sobriety Checkpoint was scheduled to begin at approximately 9:00 pm and was to be manned by Louisiana State Police Troop C, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Houma Police Department. However, due to the shortage of man power, the hours allocated for the Sobriety Checkpoint will be used for DWI saturation patrols during the month of September. 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 drivers. The task of stopping these impaired drivers is a joint effort between the law enforcement agencies and the public. Never allow an impaired driver to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Report dangerous drivers to law enforcement, and 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. Remember, the only designated driver is the person who has not consumed ANY ALCOHOL or DRUGS.
