The Missouri State Highway Patrol has released the results of a special enforcement project over the Labor Day weekend in which more than 100 tickets were issued.

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer Troop H, St. Joseph said the project encompassed two days–September 1, 2017, and September 4, 2017–designated as the peak travel days for the holiday period. Interstate 29 was the roadway designated for this project and troopers were assigned a 20-mile section of the interstate from the Buchanan County line to the Iowa state line. Troopers also were assigned to saturate high crash locations on U.S. highways within Troop H.

As a result of the project, officers issued 107 citations and 228 warnings. Officers also made, four driving while intoxicated arrests, two felony drug arrests, and one misdemeanor warrant arrest. Troopers also assisted 38 motorists over the holiday counting period.

“Troopers were out in force over the Labor Day weekend and their vigorous enforcement efforts along with increased visibility helped keep Missouri motorists safer while traveling through Troop H,” Captain McDonald said.
