EMPHASIS: Results Of DWI Saturation Conducted In Livingston County


Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of a DWI (driving while intoxicated) saturation conducted in Livingston County. The saturation was held from 7:00 p.m. on May 2, 2014, to 3:00 a.m. on May 3, 2015. During this enforcement operation six officers patrolled specific areas with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes. As a result of the operation, officers made the following enforcement contacts:

11--Citations for speed
2--Citations for failure to wear seat belt
1--Citation for child restraint violation
1--Citation for non-moving violation
1--Citation for driving while suspended
1--Citation for no insurance
77--Warnings

“Impaired driving poses a significant threat to motorists on Missouri’s roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “One of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s highest priorities is removing the impaired driver from our roadways. If drinking is part of your plans, choose a sober designated driver.”

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!!
