From the Lake in the Hills Police:
The Lake in the Hills Police Department joins statewide Labor Day traffic safety effort
Enforcement focused on impaired, distracted and unsafe driving
Lake in the Hills, IL – The Lake in the Hills Police Department is proud to be one of over 200 law enforcement agencies across Illinois participating in the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High Get a DUI” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns this Labor Day.
From Aug. 15 through the early morning hours of Sept. 2, officers will be out in force, focused on stopping impaired driving, enforcing seat belt laws and reducing other dangerous driving behaviors.
Officers will also be enforcing seat belt laws as part of the “Click It or Ticket” initiative.
Buckling up is the most effective way to prevent serious injury or death in a crash. Everyone in the vehicle, front seat or back, should be properly buckled, every trip.
In addition to alcohol, officers will be on the lookout for drivers impaired by cannabis and other drugs.
Messages like “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High Get a DUI” are part of a statewide education and enforcement effort aimed at saving lives.
This local effort is part of a larger statewide campaign supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation, which administers the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns
with federal highway safety funds.
The initiative is reinforced by IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign running across radio, TV and digital platforms to highlight the deadly consequences of impaired driving.
