BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Law
enforcement officers will be out in force on the roads across Louisiana this
week.
It's peak
time for DWI arrests just before the New Year.
The "Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign helps law enforcement make sure those celebrating
on New Year's Eve actually make it safely into 2013.
Last year,
law enforcement made more than 30,000 DWI arrests in Louisiana.
"Last
year, about 41 percent of our fatal crashes involved alcohol," said John
LeBlanc, executive director of the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission. "So,
we try to designate our resources where they do the most good and we know that
if we can have an impact here, we can save some lives."
The
campaign is paid for by a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
The Louisiana State Police conducts a DWI checkpoint.
