Special drunk driving enforcement will take place in May in Caldwell and Livingston counties according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

A sobriety checkpoint in Caldwell and a DWI saturation in Livingston are slated for the month of May according to Capt. Jame McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H.

“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing intoxicated drivers from Missouri roadways,” Capt. McDonald said. “Anytime your plans include alcohol, please have a sober designated driver.”

The MSHP said 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.
