Police Crack Down on DUI, Seat Belt Enforcement
Highland Park Police Department takes part in Illinois's Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign.
Highland Park Police will be out in force through Jan. 5 as part of a statewide enforcement initiative concentrating on drunk driven and seat belt violations, according to a news release from the Highland Park Police Department.
The effort will include high visibility alcohol and seatbelt enforcement throughout the City and other North Shore communities. Extra officers will be on duty concentrating on DUI behavior as well as front and back seat belt enforcement.
“Statistics show that the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to the increased number of drunk drivers on the roads,” the Highland Park Police Department said in the release. “The Highland Park Police Department is prepared to stop and arrest any drunk driver they see to keep the roads safe.”
