BPD Holiday Campaign Boosts Seat Belt Use

This past holiday season, the Bolingbrook Police Department teamed up with the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies statewide for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI.” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns. From Dec. 12 through Jan. 5, officers focused on ensuring that motorists were properly buckled. 

From rural routes and small-town streets to busy suburban arterials and city expressways, the goal was the same: to prevent crashes and save lives. 

The result? A safer holiday season with 35 citations for seat belt violations, speeding, distracted driving, and other traffic offenses.

Please remember to always buckle up, slow down, and stay focused: Obey the speed limit and avoid distractions such as texting, scrolling or gaming while driving.

The holiday enforcement campaign was administered by IDOT with federal highway safety funds managed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is part of Illinois’ “It’s Not a Game” statewide media outreach program.
