BATON ROUGE, La. -The Walker Police Department will conduct a sobriety checkpoint within the city limits of Walker, on Saturday, August 27, from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
According to WPD, they are enhancing their efforts to detect impaired motorist to prevent any DWI related fatalities, especially for Labor Day.
This year’s Labor Day program runs from August 19 to September 5. Police say this includes sobriety checkpoints and extra patrols to identify and apprehend impaired motorists “We are pleased to be a grant funded participant in the “Drive Sober or Pulled Over” traffic safety campaign,” Walker Police Chief David Addison said.
The DWI checkpoint is being held in conjunction with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
As the Labor Day period approaches, the Walker Police Department urges everyone to drive safely and responsibly.

That's not a Labor Day program. That's a month.

Why do PDs always give people a heads up on these? Hell, some of them have gone as far to list exact locations.

Checkpoints are gestapo tactics.
If they actually wanted to police they would observe people leaving bars and they wouldn't have to inconvenience everyone driving through town.
Of course they won't catch anyone with a DWI but there will be reports of plenty of inspection sticker, late registration, etc. tickets on this night.

DWI checkpoints are all about public awareness campaigns and nothing more. Terribly ineffective use of resources. Oftentimes the officers are working from grant money, so they don't care about effective/ineffective - they're making detail rates. I remember one checkpoint made contact with close to 1,000 people and made 3 arrests, dumb.
Far better to have a DWI Task force with 4 or 5 roving units, specifically targeting DWI stops in known hot spots. The Intoxilizer van could rove around and travel to the location of the stop. If your jail is nearby, the AO could do the transport. If not, bring out a transport van and load the arrestees up and bring several to jail at once.
In this age of cell phones, once the roadblock is set up, people call their friends coming from bars and tell them where to avoid it. It's just stupid. Oh, and most departments do not pursue turnarounds. So, if you're drunk out your mind and see what looks like a roadblock up ahead, you are way better off saying frick dat and hooking a u-turn.

Looks like they got some grant money. EBR had DUI checkpoints every week from about 2008-2014 until the money dried up.
