Multi-Agency Sobriety Checkpoint This Saturday Night Feb. 2nd

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office along with the Louisiana State Police and the Lake Charles Police Department is going to be conducting a DWI sobriety checkpoint this Saturday night February 2nd. It is an ongoing effort to keep the highways and roadways safe.

Here is the information passed down to us from the Calcasieu parish Sheriff's Office.

In a continuing effort to keep the citizens of Calcasieu Parish safe, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a DWI checkpoint at an undisclosed location in the parish on Saturday, February 2.

 

This checkpoint will target individuals driving under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotics.  They have proven to be very effective in discouraging citizens from driving while impaired and people are more likely to designate a driver when they know sobriety checkpoints are being conducted.

Louisiana State Police and Lake Charles Police Department will be participating in this checkpoint.

 

It is funded by a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
