EMPHASIS: Troop H To Conduct Driving While Intoxicated Checkpoint In Grundy County


Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer, Troop H, St. Joseph, announces that sometime during the month of December 2015, Troop H will conduct a DWI checkpoint in Grundy County. The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators.

“Intoxicated drivers pose a real danger on Missouri roadways, if you drink and drive, you lose! Please assist the Missouri State Highway Patrol in removing impaired drivers from our roadways by contacting us toll-free at 1-800-525-5555 or cellular *55,” said Captain McDonald.

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!!
