TROOP G NEWS RELEASE December 22, 2015 DWI Checkpoint Planned for Bossier Parish In an effort to combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop G plans to conduct a DWI checkpoint on Saturday, December 26, 2015, from approximately 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at an undisclosed location in Bossier Parish. Our mission will be to find and remove impaired drivers from the road before they can cause injury or death to themselves or others. Each year, on Louisiana’s highways, numerous people are killed or seriously injured in automobile crashes that involve impaired drivers. In 2014, 47% of the fatal crashes in Troop G involved impaired drivers. Motorists are asked to designate a sober driver before traveling to any place where alcohol will be consumed. Drive sober or get pulled over. To report impaired drivers, motorists are encouraged to dial *LSP (*577) from their cellular phone or to contact their local law enforcement agency. Support for this checkpoint is provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission. Contact Information: | |||
