Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled for Saturday, September 4, 2010

Shreveport – As the Labor Day weekend approaches, Louisiana State Police Troop G would like to remind motorists to keep safety in mind and a high priority. Motorists are urged to wear their seatbelts, drive respectfully, and refrain from impaired and distracted driving.

On Saturday, September 4, 2010, Louisiana State Police Troop G will conduct a sobriety checkpoint in Caddo Parish between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.

Additional troopers and law enforcement officers will saturate the remaining Troop G area actively looking for drivers who are impaired, not wearing their seatbelts, driving aggressively, and driving while distracted. The goal of this initiative is to prevent serious injury/fatal crashes, deter impaired driving, raise public awareness, and arrest impaired drivers before they harm themselves or someone else.

We are asking motorists to make a mature decision. Please designate an unimpaired driver, wear seatbelts, and drive responsibly.

Dial *LSP (*577) to report aggressive/impaired driving or call your local law enforcement agency.
