Dunklin County Sheriff’s Office Participates in Statewide Saturation Saturday
On August 29, 2026, seven deputies with the Dunklin County Sheriff’s Office participated in Saturation Saturday, a statewide traffic enforcement initiative sponsored by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and funded through a traffic enforcement grant.
Due to the six traffic fatalities that have occurred on Highway 412 this year, deputies focused a large portion of their enforcement efforts on the Highway 412 corridor. The goal of the operation was to promote safe driving, reduce dangerous driving behaviors, and help prevent additional tragedies on our roadways.
During the six-hour enforcement operation, deputies made a total of 65 traffic stops, resulting in:
• 4 citations issued
• 64 warnings issued
• 2 warrant arrests
• 1 DWI arrest
The Dunklin County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to making the roads of Dunklin County safer for everyone. Traffic enforcement efforts such as Saturation Saturday are an important part of our continued effort to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
We appreciate the hard work of the seven deputies who participated in this operation and thank the community for doing their part to help keep our roadways safe.
Please slow down, drive responsibly, and never drive impaired.
