Troop H Announces Results Of Regional Speed Enforcement
Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of the special enforcement project reference the Regional Speed Enforcement. Troop H and five surrounding states participated in this statewide project. The project encompassed two days--July 21, 2017, and July 23, 2017. Interstate 35 was the roadway designated for this project in Troop H and troopers were assigned to patrol with an emphasis on hazardous moving violations, especially those related to excessive speed. As a result of the project, officers issued 63 citations and 72 warnings. Officers also made two misdemeanor drug arrests and assisted 21 motorists during the project.
“Troopers were out in force during this operation. Their vigorous enforcement efforts along with increased visibility helped keep Missouri motorists safer and raised awareness to the dangers of excessive speed,” stated Captain McDonald.
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."
