The LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office and DUI Task Force plan to increase enforcement and patrols around prom and post-prom sites this spring.

The goal is to deter alcohol use and eliminate alcohol related crashes among La Porte County High School Prom attendees.

Between this Saturday and June 4th, Westville, LaPorte, LaLumiere, Michigan City, Marquette, New Prairie, La Crosse and South Central High Schools will all conduct prom events.

The Sheriff’s Office and DUI Task Force will saturate the areas around each prom and post-prom site to deter potential alcohol and drug use.

The sheriff’s office warns that those and any others who provide alcohol to minors will be targeted and jailed, as well.
