| TROOP L NEWS RELEASE February 22, 2012 Sobriety Checkpoint scheduled for Tangipahoa Parish Over the course of the Mardi Gras holiday, Troopers across the state conducted proactive DWI patrols and checkpoints resulting in nearly 200 arrests for impaired driving. As the 2012 Carnival season comes to an end, Troopers remain dedicated to keeping our roadways safe for citizens and visitors to our state. As part of this continued commitment to public safety, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L will conduct a DWI Checkpoint in Tangipahoa Parish on Thursday, February 23rd, 2012. The checkpoint will begin at approximately 10 pm. 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.
