Shreveport police sponsor DWI checkpoint
The Shreveport Police Department will be heading up a DWI checkpoint tomorrow night, Friday, November 22nd.
With assistance from the Louisiana State Police, police officers will be checking for drunk drivers in the City of Shreveport.
While the specific location of the checkpoint will not be revealed, it will be held in Shreveport Police Area 2, which encompasses a large portion of south east Shreveport.
The checkpoint will begin around 8 p.m. and last until 2 a.m. Drivers will be checked for sobriety, but they should be ready to show proof of insurance and a valid driver’s license as well.
This checkpoint is the latest in a series of checkpoints conducted by the Shreveport Police Department for both DWI and insurance. Past sobriety checkpoints have been very successful in removing impaired drivers from our streets.
