Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office Announces DUI Saturation Patrol Tonight

The Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office will conduct a DUI Saturation Patrol tonight, August 29, 2026, from 8:00 PM until 4:00 AM. This operation is part of EPSO's ongoing commitment to reducing impaired‑driving crashes and protecting the residents of Evangeline Parish.

Deputies will deploy marked units, unmarked units, and specialized traffic enforcement personnel trained in impaired‑driver detection. Patrols will focus on areas with a history of alcohol‑related crashes, late‑night traffic violations, and impaired‑driving complaints.

Sheriff's Office leadership emphasizes that this detail is not about arrests - it is about preventing tragedies. Impaired driving continues to be one of the leading causes of fatal crashes in Louisiana, and proactive enforcement remains a critical tool in saving lives.

Sheriff's Office leadership reminds residents: "If you choose to drive impaired, you endanger yourself and everyone around you. Tonight's saturation patrol is about keeping our parish safe."
