Missouri's Crack Down on DWI

Missouri conducted a Holiday Impaired Driving Mobilization Campaign in December 2008. Nearly 150 law enforcement agencies received mini-grants to cover the cost of officer overtime for saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints. 

A press conference in Joplin, MO brought attention to the statewide campaign.  In  Joplin they recently hired two full-time DWI officers through a Missouri Highway Safety Office grant.

Radio and Internet ads dramatizing car accidents then superimposing drunk drivers over it, flooded the media.
