| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP L- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release December 10, 2009 Sobriety Checkpoints Scheduled for St. Tammany and St. Helena Parish Louisiana State Police Troop L will conduct two DWI Checkpoints on Saturday December 12th, 2009 in St. Tammany and St. Helena Parish. The DWI Checkpoints will begin at approximately 10:00 pm in St. Helena and 11:00 pm in St. Tammany Parish. The first checkpoint will be manned by Louisiana State Police, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the St. Helena Sheriff’s Office. The second will be manned by Louisiana State Police and the St. Tammany 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. Contact Information: | |||
