EMPHASIS: Troop I Participates in Special Enforcement Operations





Captain Randy Becker, Commanding Officer of Troop I, Rolla, announces that troopers and commercial motor vehicle officers assigned to the six county area of Troop I will be participating in special enforcement operations during the months of July and August. Officers involved in these enforcement details will concentrate their efforts towards the detection of commercial motor vehicles being operated in such a manner that may cause or contribute to a traffic crash.



Funding for these programs is through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and utilizes troopers and commercial motor vehicle officers working overtime as they patrol I-44.



Captain Becker stated, “As the number of tractor-trailers on I-44 continues to increase, so do the complaints regarding their operation. It is our responsibility to vigorously enforce all traffic laws so that both cars and tractor-trailers can safely travel Missouri’s highways”. ( #
