EMPHASIS:
Troop F Announces Special Enforcement Operations In May
Captain Michael A. Turner, commanding officer of Troop F, Jefferson City, announces that sometime during the month of May, Troop F will conduct two DWI saturation operations. The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators.
"Special enforcement operations such as these enable the Missouri State Highway Patrol to enhance our efforts in reducing the number and severity of traffic crashes in Missouri," stated Captain Turner. "Driving while impaired continues to be a major contributing factor of fatal traffic crashes in Missouri."
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.” Follow Troop F on Twitter for the most current news @MSHPTrooperF
