EMPHASIS: Troop D Announces DWI Saturations


Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer of Troop D, Springfield, announces that driving while intoxicated saturations will be held in Jasper and Stone counties sometime during the month of April 2011. Troopers assigned to the saturations will concentrate their efforts on highways which have been found to have a higher number of alcohol-related crashes and enforcement contacts.

“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is committed to removing intoxicated drivers from our roadways,” said Captain Villanueva. “DWI saturations are part of the Patrol’s strategy to make Missouri’s roadways safer.”

All citizens are urged to report any driver they observe operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner. The public can contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol toll-free at 1-800-525-5555 or on their cellular phone at *55.
