| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP L- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release December 17th, 2009 **UPDATE** The DWI Checkpoint scheduled for St. Tammany parish has been cancelled due to inclement weather. . Sobriety Checkpoint Scheduled for St. Tammany Parish Louisiana State Police Troop L will conduct a DWI Checkpoint on Thursday December 17th, 2009 in St. Tammany Parish. The DWI Checkpoint will begin at approximately 10:00 P.M. The checkpoint will be manned by Louisiana State Police, Mandeville Police Department, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Agents. 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. Contact Information: | |||
