EMPHASIS: Troop G Announces DWI Saturations/DWI Checkpoint


Captain Dwayne F. Isringhausen, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that DWI Saturations will be held in Howell County sometime in the month of June and in Douglas and Ozark counties sometime in the month of July. A sobriety checkpoint will also be conducted in Howell County sometime in the month of July. 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, and 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.”
