Dexter Police to participate in "Saturation Saturday"

The Dexter Police Department is one of the numerous police departments throughout the state of Missouri participating in ‘Saturation Saturday’ on August 29.

Saturation Saturday is a high visibility evening where police departments step up their DWI enforcement efforts to remind the communities that they are out in full force, looking for impaired drivers. It is a public awareness campaign that reminds the community: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

“Summer is nearly over, and in the next several weeks leading up to the Labor Day holiday, let’s make sure we are enjoying it safely,” said Chief Trevor Pulley. “For many these plans will include alcohol, so we want to be sure that if they do choose to drink, they remember to have a sober driver.”

Saturation Saturday is a campaign being held in conjunction with the national ‘Drive Sober, Get Pulled Over’ campaign. It started in 2017 in St. Louis. As a fourth-year campaign, efforts have continued to grow with the national campaign extending to include New York, Illinois, Florida, Texas, California, Idaho, New Mexico, Ohio, Colorado, Louisiana, Kansas, Connecticut, Indiana and Arkansas participating as well.

If you suspect an impaired motorist, please call the Dexter Police Department, or your local law enforcement
