Sobriety and Seat Belt Checkpoint Scheduled for Calcasieu Parish

Calcasieu Parish – To combat impaired driving in our area, Louisiana State Police Troop D plans to conduct a sobriety and seat belt checkpoint on Friday, May 3, 2024, from approximately 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at an undisclosed location in Calcasieu Parish. Our mission will be to detect and arrest impaired drivers before they can cause injury or death to themselves or others. Additionally, we will check vehicles for unrestrained motorists and occupants to help reduce the number of traffic-related injuries and fatalities caused by not wearing a seat belt.

Motorists are encouraged to designate a sober driver and buckle up.

To report impaired drivers, motorists are encouraged to dial *LSP (*577) from their cellular phone to reach the nearest Louisiana State Police troop location or dial 911 to contact local law enforcement.

Support for this checkpoint is provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
