Officers in KCPD's DUI Squad, a group dedicated to getting impaired drivers off the road, recently received top honors at a conference in Columbia, Mo.
In 2024, two KCPD officers led Missouri in most DUI arrests. Officer Eric Lyles (left) arrested 269 impaired drivers, while Officer Jared Littleton (right) had 258.
Missouri’s Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Advisory Council honored Lyles, Littleton, and other officers recently for this important work.
