"This past October, our SADD students worked together to create a docudrama focused on the real life consequences of destructive decisions and the importance of making safe choices when getting behind the wheel.

Through acting, storytelling, and collaboration, students shared a powerful message with their peers and community. We are proud of the time, effort, and leadership our students demonstrated while bringing this project to life!"

**This dramatization contains depictions of a car crash and traumatic injury related to drinking and driving.**

One of the most important safety battles you’ll ever face is making sure your child is in the correct car seat. Take a moment to double‑check they’re in the right seat for their size and age — it can make all the difference.

Thanks to the St. James Police Department for their continued partnership and commitment to roadway safety!

Trent Brooks from MoDOT, on behalf of the Coalition for Roadway Safety Central Region, awarded the St. James Police Department two in-vehicle radar units. These will enhance our ability to keep our roadways safe and better serve our community.

The Central Coalition for Roadway Safety is one of seven regions of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. The Coalition is comprised of a diverse group of individuals and agencies located throughout central Missouri, dedicated to saving lives and reducing serious injuries from traffic crashes.

We appreciate the continued partnership and support in helping us reduce speed-related incidents and improve overall traffic safety. These radar units will play a vital role in our daily enforcement efforts, with the goal of reducing traffic crashes, serious injuries, and fatalities.
