EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct Selected Traffic Enforcement Operations During September 2009


Captain John W. Elliott, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces upcoming Selected Traffic Enforcement Operations during the month of September 2009.
On September 5, 2009, troopers will focus their attention to highways in Randolph County with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other hazardous moving violations that contribute to traffic crashes. On September 12, 2009, troopers will focus their attention on highways in Putnam County with a goal of detecting hazardous moving and speed violations.
“Even though Missouri has seen a reduction in traffic fatalities in the past couple of years, it’s very important to continue this trend,” stated Captain Elliott. “Please concentrate on being a safe driver and never get behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming intoxicants.”
