| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent News Release August 2 2011 3:45 pm Sobriety Checkpoints Scheduled In an effort to combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop F and the University of Louisiana at Monroe Police Department will team up with additional law enforcement agencies to conduct sobriety checkpoints this week. On Thursday, August 4, 2011 and Friday, August 5, 2011, sobriety checkpoints will be conducted in Ouachita Parish from approximately 8:00 pm to 4:00 am. Agencies participating in the checkpoints include: West Monroe, Monroe, and ULM Police Departments; and the Louisiana State Police. 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 drunken driving. The task of stopping these 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. Contact the Louisiana State Police by dialing *LSP or (*577) on your cell phone or contact your local law enforcement agency to report impaired drivers and dangerous roadway conditions.
