The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office will hold a sobriety checkpoint from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. Friday, May 23, in North Caddo Parish.

The goal of the checkpoint is to raise awareness of impaired driving and execute enforcement tactics to apprehend and remove such drivers from the roads before they can injure themselves or others. According to the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, the number of impaired drivers involved in or causing accidents has come down. However, there is still a long way to go to eliminate all impaired drivers from being on the roadway.

Funding for the checkpoint is provided through a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
