Troop F Prepares For Thanksgiving Holiday Traffic
Captain Michael A. Turner, commanding officer of Troop F, Jefferson City, announces that Troop F will be participating in enforcement operations throughout the Thanksgiving Day weekend. The objective of these operations is to promote safety and reduce traffic crashes. Throughout the holiday weekend, troopers within Troop F and throughout the state will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness & Reduction Effort). In addition to Operation C.A.R.E., Troop F will also participate in special enforcement operations throughout the holiday period beginning on Wednesday, November 21, and ending on, Sunday, November 25. During these operations, Troop F troopers will be targeting all traffic violations and will be especially vigilant to excessive speed, careless and imprudent driving, and aggressive driving violations. Troopers will also be available to help motorists in need of assistance.
“The purpose of these projects is to provide highly visible enforcement of impaired/aggressive driving throughout Troop F,” stated Captain Turner. “Our goal is very simple: We want everyone to arrive at their destination safely. Please obey all traffic laws, ensure that everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained, and never drive impaired."
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.”
