TROOP D NEWS RELEASE November 16, 2017 Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled for Calcasieu Parish CALCASIEU PARISH - In an effort to combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop D plans to conduct a DWI checkpoint on Friday, November 17, 2017, from approximately 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at an undisclosed location in Calcasieu Parish. Our mission will be to detect and arrest impaired drivers before they cause injury or death to themselves or others. In 2015, 64 percent of fatal crashes investigated by Troop D involved an impaired driver. Alcohol consumption affects driver judgement and the skills needed to drive safely. As we approach the holiday season, motorists are reminded of the importance of planning ahead and designating a sober driver before driving to any place where alcohol will be consumed. Not doing so can have deadly consequences. Support for this checkpoint is provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission. Contact Information: | |||
