Shreveport Police Warns of Upcoming DWI Checkpoint

The Shreveport Police Department will conduct a DWI checkpoint on Friday, December 6, 2024, beginning at 10:00 PM and continuing into the early morning hours of Saturday, December 7, 2024, until 4:00 AM. The operation will take place in the north end of Shreveport as part of the department’s ongoing efforts to deter impaired driving and arrest those who engage in this dangerous behavior.

In 2023, the Shreveport Police Department led the state in DWI arrests, and 2024 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year. The department’s DWI unit is staffed with highly trained and dedicated officers who excel in their roles. While these officers are committed to keeping our roads safe, we encourage everyone to avoid meeting them in the course of their duties by making responsible choices.

This checkpoint will also include support from the Louisiana State Police and the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, demonstrating a strong, collaborative effort to combat impaired driving and ensure public safety.

The Shreveport Police Department urges all drivers to prioritize safety by designating a sober driver or arranging alternative transportation if consuming alcohol. Let’s work together to keep our community safe.

Remember: Drive sober or get pulled over.
