Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend enforcement efforts slated for Troop D

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer of Troop D, Springfield, announces troopers assigned to Troop D will step up enforcement activities during the 2009 Thanksgiving holiday weekend by participating in two programs.

Troopers will be participating in the Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) enforcement program throughout the holiday weekend.

As part of Operation C.A.R.E., all available officers will be assigned to work during the holiday period to provide maximum manpower during this busy travel time.

In an added program during the holiday, Troop D officers will participate in a 10-mile trooper program on Interstate 44 from 12 p.m. to midnight on Nov. 25, and from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Nov. 29. During this enforcement program, troopers will be assigned at 10-mile increments on Interstate 44 from the Oklahoma state line to the Webster-Laclede county line.
