The LSPD has applied for and has been awarded a grant by the Missouri Department of Transportation, Traffic and Highway Safety Division in the amount of Twenty Seven Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($27,250.00) for a Hazardous Moving Violation Project and a grant in the amount of Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) for a Impaired Driving Enforcement/DWI Saturation Project for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.
