EMPHASIS: Trooper Hitt Transfers To Troop B

Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces effective May 1, 2016, Trooper Adam Hitt transferred from Troop F to Troop B. He will be assigned to Zone 9, which serves the citizens of Marion and Ralls counties.

Trooper Hitt, a native of Quincy, IL, was appointed to the Patrol on January 1, 2013, and after graduating from the Patrol Academy, he was assigned to Troop F, Zone 6, which serves the citizens of Morgan and Moniteau counties. He graduated from Quincy Notre Dame High School in Quincy, IL. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice sciences from Illinois State University in Normal, IL.

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
