TROOP A- NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

December 16th, 2009
DWI Checkpoint Scheduled for Iberville Parish

Louisiana State Police Troop A will conduct a DWI Sobriety Checkpoint this weekend in Iberville Parish. These checkpoints are part of an on-going effort by the Louisiana State Police and local law enforcement agencies to identify and remove impaired drivers from our state highways.

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 driving.

Contact the Louisiana State Police by dialing *LSP or (*577) on your cell phone to report impaired drivers or dangerous roadway conditions.
