EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct DWI Saturations In Marion And Ralls Counties Sometime During The Months Of January And February 2015


Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that sometime during the months of January and February 2015, Troop B officers will conduct DWI enforcement saturations in Marion and Ralls counties. During these enforcement operations, troopers will focus their attention on selected highways with a goal of detecting intoxicated drivers, hazardous moving violations, speed, and other traffic violations that cause traffic crashes.
"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 a part of your plans."
In support of "The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths," the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seatbelt 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!!
