EMPHASIS: Troop E Announces A DWI Saturation


Captain George E. Ridens, Commanding Officer of Troop E, announces that troopers will conduct a DWI saturation during the month of July in Troop E. Troop E consists of thirteen counties in southeast Missouri.

“ DWI saturations are a part of the Patrol’s effort to remove intoxicated drivers from Missouri’s highways,” said Captain Ridens. “The impaired driver continues to be a major contributor to serious and fatal traffic crashes in southeast Missouri, and we will continue to remove them from our roadways.”

The Missouri State Highway Patrol urges all citizens to report any vehicle they observe operating in a careless and imprudent manner. The public can contact the Highway Patrol toll free at 1-800-525-5555 or on their cellular phone at *55.
