The Missouri State Highway Patrol plans to hold several saturation operations in northwest Missouri during the month of June.

Sometime during the month of June 2016, Troop H will conduct a DWI checkpoint in DeKalb County and a DWI saturation in Nodaway 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.

“Removing impaired drivers from Missouri roadways is one of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s top priorities,” said Captain James E. McDonald. “If you choose to drink and drive, you will be arrested and you will go to jail. If your plans include alcohol, always have a sober designated driver.”
