The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Troop B will conduct a driving while intoxicated (DWI) saturation in Putnam County. The operation is scheduled to take place from Friday night, September 6, at 10 p.m. to Saturday morning, September 7, at 2 a.m.
DWI Saturation involves deploying a higher number of law enforcement officers in a specific area to monitor and detect impaired drivers actively. Officers patrol the roads and look for signs of impaired driving or other traffic violations. The goal is to increase the police presence to deter impaired driving and make arrests when necessary. During a DWI saturation, officers may pull over vehicles based on observed driving behaviors, but they do not stop every vehicle.
The primary objective of this DWI saturation is to detect impaired drivers and address other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes. This effort is part of a broader initiative to enhance road safety and reduce the number of accidents caused by driving under the influence. Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution and ensure compliance with traffic laws to avoid violations and contribute to safer driving conditions.
