The Cape Girardeau Police Department is proud to announce that its officers worked 135 Driving While Impaired (DWI) cases in 2024; the most since 2017 when the department handled 150 cases. Notably, only 35% of these cases were the result of vehicle crashes marking the lowest percentage since 2018 (32%).

This trend highlights the Cape Girardeau Police Department’s proactive approach to traffic safety as officers are identifying impaired drivers through regular traffic stops rather than responding to crashes involving impaired drivers.

“Proactive enforcement like this directly contributes to keeping our roads and community safer,” said Chief Adam Glueck. “Our officers are doing an outstanding job of preventing potential tragedies by addressing impaired driving.”

Patrolman Michael Spies led the department with an impressive 29 DWI cases in 2024. His commitment to removing impaired drivers from the roads exemplifies the Department’s dedication to public safety.

The Cape Girardeau Police Department thanks its officers for their hard work as well as our community for its continued support. As the Department looks to 2025, we remain committed to proactive enforcement and enhancing roadway safety.

Missouri law enforcement will start ticketing people for using their phone while driving as of Jan 1. The Siddens-Bening Hands-Free law requires drivers to have both hands on the wheel. Missouri drivers cannot use their phones while behind the wheel. Drivers can use hands-free devices. The hands-free law went into effect in the summer of 2023, but Missouri law enforcement will start fully enforcing it on Jan 1. The law is under secondary enforcement, which means if you are pulled over for speeding or reckless driving and the officer or trooper notices you on your phone, you will be ticketed for that as well. Tickets start at $150 on the first offense and go up to $500 for a third offense. If someone dies at the hands of a distracted driver, the driver could get up to seven years in prison.
