TROOP G - NEWS RELEASE

December 7, 2011

Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled

In an effort to combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop G will conduct a sobriety checkpoint this weekend. On Friday, December 9, 2011, a sobriety checkpoint will be conducted in Caddo Parish from approximately 10:00 pm to 4:00 am.

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.
