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 or drunk driving. The task of stopping these impaired drivers is a joint effort of law enforcement agencies and the public. Never allow an impaired driver to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and report any dangerous drivers to law enforcement. The public can play an important role in the reduction of crashes caused by impaired drivers by contacting the Louisiana State Police by dialing *LSP or (*577) on your cell phone and report any unsafe and or dangerous roadway conditions.
