BPD Releases Fourth of July Enforcement Statistics

The Bolingbrook Police department recently concluded its Independence Day Click It or Ticket safety campaign. Officers made 4 arrests and issued 57 citations for seat belt, speeding, distracted driving, and other vehicle code violations. Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this statewide effort to get drunk and drugged drivers off our roads and encourage seat belt use.

BPD joined forces with more than 200 other state and local law enforcement agencies conducting the crackdown, which featured high-visibility enforcement combined with a variety of outreach activities including a media campaign.

The Illinois Independence Day enforcement campaign is funded with federal highway safety dollars administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation and supported by the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies across the state. It’s reinforced with IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign, which shares real stories of Illinois residents lost in fatal crashes.
