The saturations will be conducted in Daviess and Buchanan counties and the sobriety checkpoint will be held in Atchison County.
The checkpoint is a static operation on a specific highway that is designed to check every driver to ensure they are not impaired. The driving while intoxicated saturation is a mobile operation in which troopers saturate a specific highway in an effort to arrest intoxicated drivers.
Captain Robinson urges the public to report all impaired drivers. "The sobriety operations help to ensure the safety of motorists by arresting impaired drivers who endanger other motorists," stated Captain Robinson.
To report unsafe driving, motorists can use the Patrol’s emergency telephone numbers. They are 1-800-525-5555 or, on a cellular phone, *55.
