EMPHASIS:
New Trooper Assigned To Troop G
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, Willow Springs, announces the assignment of a new trooper to Troop G:
Trooper Matthew J. Chastain has been assigned to Zone 10, Northern Howell and Shannon counties. Trooper Chastain is a native of Marshfield, Missouri. He is a graduate of Conway High School and attended College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri, where he received a Bachelor of Science in criminal justice. Before joining the Patrol, he was employed by Oakley in Branson, Missouri. Trooper Chastain is married to Bailey (Dobbs) Chastain. Trooper Chastain’s zone supervisor will be Sergeant Shawn Dougherty and his field training officer will be Trooper Blake Rowden.
The new trooper was a member of the 104th Recruit Class of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The 104th Recruit Class began training on January 2, 2017, and graduated on June 23, 2017. He will report for duty on July 10, 2017.
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.”
