The Round Lake Police Department arrested 1 impaired driver and issued 45 seat belt and child safety seat citations during the recent Halloween traffic safety campaign.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois
participated in this effort to save lives by getting impaired drivers off the
roads and more people buckled up. The enforcement campaign took place from October
19 through November 3.
Extra emphasis was placed on enforcement during late-night
hours, when statistics show the most unbuckled and impaired driving fatalities
occur.
The recent law enforcement campaign
was made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois
Department of Transportation and is part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
