Reynolds County Sheriff Department Receives Grant Funding
The Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety recently awarded a Portable Breath Tester (PBT) to the Reynolds County Sheriff Department. Personal breathalyzers estimate the concentration of alcohol in the body by measuring the amount of alcohol exhaled from the lungs. Impaired driving contributes to nearly 30 percent of all Missouri traffic fatalities.
