EMPHASIS: Patrol Announces BWI/DWI Saturation In Jefferson County




Captain Ronald S. Johnson, commanding officer, Troop C, Weldon Spring, announces that sometime during the month of September 2012, Troop C officers will conduct a boating/driving while intoxicated saturation in Jefferson County. The operation will focus on identifying individuals operating watercraft and motor vehicles while intoxicated. Officers will pay particular
attention to those operating watercraft while entering and departing waterways. Officers will also saturate roadways leading to and from public accesses to waterways.

Captain Johnson stated, “No one should have to travel a Missouri highway or waterway with the fear that an impaired driver or operator may put their life or the lives of their family in jeopardy. Protecting those on our roads, lakes, and streams from these unsafe practices will always be a priority.”
