2 -- uninsured motorist citations
4 -- driver license citations
2 -- registration violations
2 -- commercial vehicle citations

“Our mission is to make our highways safer, which cannot be solely accomplished by traffic arrests,” stated Captain Villanueva. “In order to meet this goal, it is vital that every motorist take it upon themselves to be a safe, courteous, and conscientious driver.”
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.”
