Captain Robert L. Powell, commanding officer of Troop A, Lee’s Summit, MO, announces upcoming plans for Troop A officers to participate in the 20-Mile Trooper enforcement programs over the 2013 July Fourth Holiday.
Troop A officers will be conducting a 20-Mile Trooper project on Interstates 70, 35, 29, 49, and 470, and U.S. Highway 50 in the Troop A area on July 3, 2013, and July 7, 2013. During this enforcement program, troopers will be assigned to 20-mile intervals in an effort to step up visibility and traffic enforcement with a goal of reducing traffic crashes over the holiday weekend.
“The July Fourth Holiday is typically one of the heaviest traveled holidays in Missouri,” stated Captain Powell. “I would like to urge all motorists to make sure safe driving is a part of your plans. Make sure everyone is wearing a seat belt, and never drink and drive. Should you be celebrating the holiday on the water, I want to remind everyone to ensure they are wearing an approved life jacket while in a vessel and don’t operate a vessel while drinking."
