| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP C- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: February 13, 2009 Troop C Urges Safety During Mardi Gras Season Gray- Louisiana State Police Troop C reminds everyone to make sure safety is the number one thought this Mardi Gras season. Troop C troopers will be out in full force this entire Mardi Gras season to ensure the safety of everyone in their travels to and from their destinations. Remember that traffic will be hectic at times near and around the parade routes. If you are planning to attend a parade, allow enough time to get to your destination without having to be rushed. If you are not attending parades, know their routes and avoid them if possible. Remember if we all work together, safety this carnival season can seem effortless. Troop C and several other law enforcement agencies will be conducting DWI Checkpoints and saturation patrols during Carnival between Friday, February 13, 2009 and Tuesday, February 24, 2009 in locations within the Troop C area. Your best policy is to always insist on having a designated driver at all times. Remember that troopers have no discretion when incidents involve impaired driving. You will go directly to jail, NO EXCEPTIONS! Your local troopers want to wish everyone a wonderful and safe Mardi Gras.
