The Carpentersville Police Department participated in statewide traffic safety campaigns from June 20 through July 7, resulting in the issuance of multiple citations and one impaired driving arrest.
During the Fourth of July “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High Get a DUI,” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns, Carpentersville Police made one impaired driving arrest related to alcohol and cannabis use, issued five seat belt citations, and issued 23 citations for distracted driving.
This effort was part of a larger statewide initiative involving more than 200 law enforcement agencies across Illinois. The goal was to remove impaired drivers from the road and encourage safe driving habits, especially seat belt use.
These campaigns are funded by federal traffic safety funds and administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The enforcement effort was also supported by IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign, which highlights the serious consequences of impaired and distracted driving.
The Carpentersville Police Department remains committed to keeping our roads safe for everyone in the community.
