EMPHASIS: Troop F To Participate In "10-Mile Trooper Project"


Captain Gregory D. Kindle, commanding officer of Troop F, Jefferson City, announces that Troop F will participate in a program designed to provide maximum manpower during the travel days of the Labor Day holiday weekend. The program, known as “10-Mile Trooper Project”, is designed to provide a trooper at least every 10 miles on designated highways. The designated highway in Troop F is Interstate 70. The dates of the program are September 3, 2010, and September 6, 2010. Troopers will be targeting all traffic violations, and will be especially vigilant regarding speed, careless and imprudent driving, and aggressive driving violations. Troopers will be observing a zero tolerance policy for motorists who are stopped for a traffic violation and are not wearing a seat belt.
