The Missouri State Highway Patrol announces another DWI checkpoint in Northwest Missouri.

Captain James E. McDonald, the commanding officer of Troop H, says troopers will conduct a DWI checkpoint in Atchison County sometime next month.

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.

“Intoxicated drivers pose a real danger on Missouri roadways,” said Captain McDonald.

McDonald urges you to help out by reporting impaired drivers. Call toll-free at 1-800-525-5555 (or *55 on your cell phone).
