TROOP G NEWS RELEASE December 27 2017 DWI Checkpoint Planned for Bossier Parish Bossier Parish - In an effort to combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop G plans to participate in a multi-agency DWI checkpoint on Saturday, December 30, 2017, from approximately 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.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 and unrestrained motorists. In 2016, 52% of the fatal crashes in Troop G involved impaired drivers and nearly 60% involved motorists that were improperly restrained or not restrained at all. Motorists are asked to designate a sober driver and buckle up. 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: | |||
