| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP A - NEWS RELEASE State Troopers To Conduct Sobriety Checkpoint BATON ROUGE – Louisiana State Police Troop A, in cooperation with Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, will conduct a sobriety checkpoint in Ascension Parish on Friday, September 4, 2009, beginning at 8:00 p.m. Troopers, Deputies, and Wildlife Agents will be out aggressively enforcing the state’s DWI laws throughout the holiday weekend in an effort to keep impaired drivers off our roadways and ensure the motoring public’s safety. Every year on the highways across the state of Louisiana, numerous people are killed or seriously injured because of impaired drivers. Sobriety checkpoints are effective enforcement tools because they serve as a deterrent to impaired driving. Not allowing impaired drivers to get behind the wheel of a car or boat and reporting possible impaired drivers to local police stations can potentially save lives. The public is encouraged to share in the responsibility of keeping impaired drivers from behind the wheel. The State Police number to call is *LSP or (*577) on your cell phone. Alcohol or Drugs, Impairment is Impairment! Drive Impaired, Get Arrested! For more information contact: Tpr Russell G.
