EMPHASIS: Troop G Announces Sobriety Checkpoint/Saturation


Captain Dwayne F. Isringhausen, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a DWI saturation will be held in Ozark County sometime in the month of March. Also, a sobriety checkpoint will be conducted in Texas County sometime in the month of March. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with area law enforcement, will conduct the checkpoint.

Sobriety checkpoints and DWI saturations are part of the Patrol’s efforts to remove careless and intoxicated drivers from Missouri’s highways. These enforcement operations are conducted at various locations which have been found to experience a higher than normal number of alcohol-related contacts, hazardous driving contacts, and traffic crashes.

Captain Isringhausen says, “The use of sobriety checkpoints and DWI saturations enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in removing drugged and intoxicated drivers from our roadways. Please, never drink and drive.”

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!!!
