Deputies with the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office will be working overtime on US 61 and other arterial highways watching for traffic violations as part of the Missouri Blueprint for Safety program. This grant-funded program is part of the State of Missouri’s initiative to curb dangerous and distracted driving in an effort reduce traffic deaths on Missouri roadways.

If you see a law enforcement vehicle roadside on a traffic stop, please be sure to slow down and switch lanes if possible to give them plenty of room to do their jobs safely.
