In 2018, the Dexter Police Department was awarded two traffic safety enforcement grants targeting occupant protection safety and impaired driving enforcement from the Missouri Department of Transportation Highway Safety Division.  Officers worked these grants during MODOT’s fiscal year, which ran from 10/01/2018 – 09/30/2019.  The following are the results of both grants enforcement statistics:
