It’s #NationalPublicSafetyTelecommunicatorsWeek ! We rely heavily on our communication operators to be a calm voice on the other end of the radio. They get our troopers where they need to go and constantly check on their status to keep us as safe as possible. Thank you!!!

Lives are at stake every single day in work zones across Missouri. Pay attention to the road, not your cell phone. These crashes are avoidable. Do your part in making sure they don't happen. Buckle up, phone down, slow down, drive sober.

Last week we investigated 22 injury crashes. In those crashes, 25 people sustained injuries, and there were 3 fatalities. 11 were not wearing a seatbelt. Please slow down, pay attention, and buckle up.

With turkey season just around the corner, it’s important to remember that big birds will be on the move. It’s also important to keep your eyes constantly scanning outside while driving. This is what happens when a turkey hits a windshield at highway speeds.

This stop was made yesterday on MO 171 near Carthage. Speeds like this are just dangerous. You may think you’re a race car driver, but you aren’t on a track and that’s not a race car. #SlowDown
