| TROOP L NEWS RELEASE March 13th, 2012 Troopers to conduct Sobriety Checkpoint in Tangipahoa Parish While the instances of impaired driving and alcohol related fatal crashes have declined across the state, Troopers remain committed to improving the safety of our highways through proactive education and enforcement campaigns. As part of this continued commitment, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L will conduct a DWI Checkpoint in Tangipahoa Parish on Thursday, March 15th, 2012. The checkpoint will begin at approximately 9 pm and will target drivers under the impairment of both alcohol and drugs. The consequences of drinking and driving can be costly no matter how many drinks you have consumed. The task of stopping 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. Making poor decisions in a vehicle such as driving impaired, driving while distracted, or not wearing a seat belt leads to serious injuries and deaths every day across the state. Making the responsible decision can mean the difference between life and death. 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.
