Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces the Patrol will be conducting commercial motor vehicle enforcement operations (SAFETE operations) in Marion County during the months of September and October 2013.
During the enforcement operations, which are funded by the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP), officers will focus their attention on traffic violations committed by drivers of commercial motor vehicles that contribute to traffic crashes, as well as unsafe commercial motor vehicle conditions. The main goal of the enforcement operations is to reduce the number of commercial motor vehicle-related traffic crashes.
If anyone observes an aggressive or impaired driver, please call the Missouri State Highway Patrol Emergency Hotline at 1-800-525-5555 or *55 on a mobile telephone.
The Patrol encourages motorists and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!!
