Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled for Saturday Night

In Louisiana alone, almost half of all fatality crashes involve impaired drivers. To combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop F will team up with the West Monroe Police Department to conduct a sobriety checkpoint this weekend.

On Saturday, August 7, 2010, Louisiana State Police Troopers and West Monroe Police Officers will conduct a sobriety checkpoint in West Monroe from approximately 9:00 pm to 3:00 am.

The mission of the departments involved will be to intercept and incarcerate impaired drivers before they cause injury to themselves, their passengers or members of the public. Drivers are less likely to drive impaired when they recognize the increased probability of law enforcement action.

There are no excuses for impaired driving and those who choose to endanger themselves or others will be arrested.
