The Hinsdale Police Department successfully conducted an impaired driving enforcement campaign over Labor Day weekend, resulting in two arrests for driving under the influence. Additionally, two seat belt citations were issued, with two occurring during nighttime hours. Other citations and arrests included 49 citations for speeding, one citation for distracted driving, two traffic arrests and 10 other Illinois Vehicle Code violations.
“Through the Labor Day safety campaign, we helped to make our roads safer and spread the word about the risks of impaired driving — ‘It’s Not a Game,’ ” said Deputy Chief Thomas Lillie.
Hinsdale police collaborated with other law enforcement agencies and highway safety partners across the state for the Illinois Labor Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” campaign.
This effort was part of the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI.” and “Click It or Ticket” initiatives, funded by federal highway safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
