Troop I Announces Special Enforcement Operations For Labor Day
Captain James Remillard, commanding officer of Troop I, announces that during the Labor Day holiday weekend, Troop I will conduct two hazardous moving operations in the following counties: Laclede, Pulaski, Phelps, Crawford, Maries, and Dent. Officers assigned to these operations will focus on areas where a high number of traffic crashes have occurred. Officers will be cognizant of impaired drivers and aggressive driving which will include excessive speed, following too close, and improper lane usage.
Officers will also participate in the 20-Mile Trooper project which will include the Troop I counties of Crawford, Phelps, Pulaski, and Laclede. Officers will be assigned to Interstate 44 during this project and will be available to assist stranded motorists and respond to any reports of aggressive driving. Captain Remillard would like to remind motorists that they can report aggressive driving and traffic-related emergencies by dialing *55 on their cellular phone.
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. Each 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.”
