EMPHASIS: Troop G Announces DWI Saturation/DWI Checkpoint

Captain Dwayne F. Isringhausen, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that a DWI Saturation will be held in Wright County sometime in the month of August. A sobriety checkpoint will also be conducted in Texas County sometime in the month of August. 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.”
