EMPHASIS: Patrol Announces DWI Saturation In North St. Louis, Warren, & Ste. Genevieve Counties


Captain Ronald S. Johnson, commanding officer, Troop C, Weldon Spring, announces that sometime during the month of June 2015, Troop C officers will conduct DWI saturations in North St. Louis, Warren, and Ste. Genevieve counties. 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.

“Sobriety saturations are very important in making our highways a safer place to travel,” stated Captain Johnson. “Troop C officers will be conducting various special enforcement operations throughout 2015 with a goal of reducing traffic crashes and saving lives.”

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.
