The Missouri State Highway Patrol said it plans to hold special alcohol enforcement operations in Buchanan and Caldwell counties sometime next month.

Sometime during the month of May, Troop H said it will conduct a sobriety checkpoint in Caldwell County and a DWI saturation in Buchanan County. 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.

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