December 29th through January 2nd the Camden County Sheriff’s Office will be stepping up patrols looking for impaired drivers.

The enforcement efforts are being paid for by a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation, Highway Safety Division.

Sheriff Franklin said he has a goal to reduce DWI fatal accidents to zero. Sheriff Franklin said there is no excuse for anyone to get behind the wheel and drive while impaired. Give someone else the keys, ask friends to give you a ride, or have a designated sober driver.
