EMPHASIS:
Troop H To Participate In C.A.R.E. Lifesaver Weekend
Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph, announces that Troop H officers will be participating in the C.A.R.E. Lifesaver weekend from December 16, 2016, through December 19, 2016. During that time frame, enforcement will be increased in an effort to stop motorists from driving impaired this holiday season and to reduce injury and deaths caused by impaired drivers.
"The holiday season is a time to celebrate with friends and family,” said Captain McDonald. “If those celebrations include alcohol be sure to have a sober designated driver. No one should have to endure losing a loved one during the holiday season.”
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri's roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
"Don't Violate The Trust."
