Troop H announced Wednesday that Troop H will conduct a DWI checkpoint in Grundy County sometime this month.  The areas selected for enforcement the troop said was 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.

On Friday another announcement was made, this one for Clinton County.  The troop said sometime during the month of December, Troop H will conduct a DWI saturation in Clinton County.

“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing intoxicated drivers from Missouri roadways,” said Captain James McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H. “Anytime your plans include alcohol, please have a sober designated driver.”
