EMPHASIS: Troop G Announces Results Of Special Enforcement Operation

A total of 42 citations and 32 warnings were issued in conjunction with a hazardous moving violation enforcement operation conducted in Texas County on September 12, 2015. Also, troopers made two drug arrests and one arrest for an outstanding felony warrant, and recovered a stolen motorcycle. Traffic totals from this enforcement effort include:

2-- seat belt citations
35 -- speed citations
1 -- no driver’s license citation
4 -- non-moving violation citations


Captain Inman says, “Hazardous moving violation operations are one tool the Missouri State Highway Patrol uses in order to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and always be a courteous driver.”

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
