This Independence Day holiday, the NOPD is participating in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over impaired driving awareness campaign. The primary goal of the law enforcement presence will be to prevent the tragedies previously seen around the July 4th holiday. 

The NOPD Traffic Division will conduct sobriety checkpoints in Orleans Parish on Thursday, June 9, 2022, and on Thursday, June 23, 2022. The checkpoints will operate from 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, to 5 a.m. on Friday, June 10; and from 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 23, to 5 a.m. on Friday, June 24.

As of June 1, 2022, the NOPD has resumed enforcing a curfew for juveniles ages 17 and under during the summer months in the City of New Orleans. Through August 31, 2022, curfew hours for unsupervised juveniles ages 17 and under will be enforced between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
