EMPHASIS: Checkpoint To Be Held


Captain George E. Ridens, commanding officer of Troop E, announces that a checkpoint will be held in Stoddard County some time during the month of November. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with other area law enforcement agencies, will conduct the checkpoint.

Checkpoints are a part of the Patrol’s efforts to check for unregistered vehicles, unlicensed drivers, and uninsured motorists on Missouri’s highways, and are conducted at various locations in Troop E.

Captain Ridens stated, “All vehicles must be properly licensed and insured when operated on Missouri highways. Drivers must also possess a valid license for the type of vehicle they are driving.”
