EMPHASIS: Troop B Officers To Conduct DWI Saturations During The Month Of September 2011



Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces that sometime during the month of September 2011, Troop B officers will conduct DWI enforcement operations in Knox, Clark, and Lewis counties. During these operations, extra troopers will focus their attention on selected highways with a goal of detecting intoxicated drivers, and hazardous moving, speed, and other traffic violations that cause traffic crashes.
"The Patrol is committed to removing intoxicated drivers from our highways," stated Captain Wilt. "I would like to urge all motorists to choose a sober designated driver if drinking alcohol is a part of your plans."
