Partners in Prevention Funding for
DWI Checkpoint/Saturation Operations
Support for this program provided with federal highway safety grant funds from the Missouri Department of Transportation
“The federal highway safety funding in Missouri supports programs that reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes occurring on our roadways and reduce traffic fatalities and injuries. Areas of emphasis include alcohol- and drug-impaired driving, speeding, safety belt and child safety seat use, inattention or distracted driving, young drivers, mature drivers, and traffic crash data collection and analysis.”
MoDOT web site
Intended Recipients of Funding Program: Police and public safety departments at Missouri’s colleges and universities and/or police or sheriff’s departments located in municipalities where Missouri’s colleges and universities are housed.
Funds from the Missouri Department of Transportation-Highway Safety Division can be used for DWI checkpoint operations or saturation patrols which focus on increasing safe driving behaviors of students in Missouri’s college communities.
Sponsored projects must include at least one law enforcement agency in the planning and implementation of the projects, but special priority will be given to those who collaborate with other entities for support for the operations. For example, campus and community law enforcement are encouraged to collaborate with your local sheriff’s department or the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop in your region.
Funds can be used for any expense related to the enforcement such as overtime pay for officers, equipment, and or other supplies for those working the detail. The only unallowable expense is reimbursement for salary or regular pay as this cannot be supplanted with federal funds. However, reimbursement for overtime funding is allowed.
Funds can be used for a one-time enforcement activity or a series of scheduled checkpoint or saturation operations over a period of time.
In the application process, please describe the need for funds, how the operation will be setup, and the amount of funding needed for the operation(s). Please do not exceed $1000 for your funding request.
Please submit this request for funds at least one month before the proposed checkpoint.
