Indiana State Police Troopers will join five other state police agencies for the 6-State Trooper Project, a collaboration between Indiana and surrounding states to remove impaired drivers from the roadways.

During the two-day enforcement effort, ISP will conduct checkpoints and saturation patrols throughout the state.

ISP asks the public to help make Indiana roadways safer by observing the following tips:

Plan ahead and always use a designated driver.
• Don’t get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you’ve consumed alcoholic beverages; instead call a taxi, a family member, or friend who has not been drinking to give you a ride.
• If you are hosting a party, always offer non-alcoholic beverages and make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver or allow them to spend the night.
• Remember: Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk.  Take the keys and never let a friend leave your sight if you think they might  drive while impaired.

Anyone observing erratic driving should contact the police immediately and be prepared to give a detailed description of the vehicle, its location, and direction of travel.  Callers can remain anonymous.
