In a continuing effort to keep the citizens of Calcasieu Parish safe, the Calcasieu Full Force Dwi Project will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in the parish this weekend. 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.
Law Enforcement agencies participating in the DWI checkpoint will be the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office; Louisiana State Police Troop D; and the DeQuincy Police Department.
DWI checkpoints are funded by a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
