EMPHASIS:
Results Of DWI Saturation In Daviess & Dekalb Counties
Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of a DWI saturation conducted in Daviess and Dekalb counties.
The saturation was held from 7 p.m. on March 16, 2019, to 3 a.m. on March 17, 2019. During this enforcement operation, four officers patrolled Daviess and Dekalb counties with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes. As a result, there was one arrest for driving while intoxicated, 20 traffic citations issued, and 34 warnings given.
“Impaired driving poses a significant threat to motorists on Missouri’s roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “One of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s highest priorities is removing the impaired driver from our roadways. If drinking is part of your plans, choose a sober designated 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.”
