EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct DWI Saturation And Sobriety Checkpoint In September


Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that sometime during the month of September 2014, Troop B officers will conduct a DWI enforcement saturation in Shelby County and a sobriety checkpoint in Marion County. During these operations, troopers will focus their attention on selected highways with a goal of detecting intoxicated drivers.
"The Patrol is committed to removing intoxicated drivers from our highways," stated Captain Wilt. "I would like to urge all motorists to choose a sober designated driver if drinking alcohol is part of your plans."
In support of "The Drive To ZERO Highway Traffic Deaths," the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
