TROOP C - NEWS RELEASE
February 6, 2013
DWI Checkpoint Scheduled For Lafourche Parish

Louisiana State Police Troop C will conduct a DWI Checkpoint this Thursday, February 7, 2013 at an undisclosed location in Lafourche Parish. The sobriety checkpoint will begin at approximately 9:00 pm. The checkpoint will be manned by Louisiana State Police Troop C and the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office as an ongoing proactive effort to remove impaired drivers from the roadways.

The consequences of drinking and driving can be costly no matter how many drinks you have consumed. The task of stopping 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. Making poor decisions in a vehicle such as driving impaired, driving while distracted, or not wearing a seat belt leads to serious injuries and deaths every day across the state. Making the responsible decision can mean the difference between life and death.

Contact the Louisiana State Police by dialing *LSP or (*577) on your cell phone to report impaired drivers and dangerous roadway conditions.
