EMPHASIS: Patrol Announces DWI Checkpoint & Saturation In Buchanan County


Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer, Troop H, St. Joseph, announces that sometime during the month of May 2014, Troop H will conduct a DWI checkpoint and a DWI saturation in Buchanan 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 are a danger on Missouri roadways, please assist the Missouri State Highway Patrol in removing impaired drivers from our roadways by contacting us toll-free 1-800-525-5555 or cellular *55,” said Captain McDonald.

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 seat belt 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!!
