EMPHASIS:
Troop I To Conduct Impaired Driving Enforcement Operation In Laclede County
Captain Eddie Blaylock, commanding officer of Troop I, announces that during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, troopers assigned to Troop I, will conduct an impaired driving enforcement operation in Laclede County. Troopers will focus their efforts on areas where in the past, a high number of driving while intoxicated arrests and impaired driving crashes have occurred.
Captain Blaylock would like to remind travelers to designate a sober driver or sober captain if your holiday plans include alcohol. Captain Blaylock would like to also remind motorists that they can report serious traffic offenses and highway emergencies by dialing *55 on their cellular telephone.
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.”
