| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP L- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release March 16th, 2010 Sobriety Checkpoints Scheduled for St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parish Louisiana State Police Troop L will conduct two DWI Checkpoints on Thursday, March 18th in St. Tammany Parish and on Friday, March 19th in Tangipahoa Parish. The DWI Checkpoints will begin at approximately 7:00 pm in St. Tammany Parish and 10:00 pm in Tangipahoa Parish. The first checkpoint will be manned by Louisiana State Police and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office. The second will be manned by Louisiana State Police, Wildlife and Fishery Agents, and the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office. 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 to report impaired drivers and dangerous roadway conditions. Remember, the only designated driver is the person who has had NO ALCOHOL.
