The Crystal Lake Police Department Completes the Independence Day Crackdown to Save Lives
The Crystal Lake Police Department recently completed participation in the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program conducted for the 2019 Independence Day holiday period, designated as “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over / Click It or Ticket.”
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this statewide effort from June 17 through July 8 to save lives by encouraging motorists to refrain from drinking and driving and to buckle up during late-night hours.
During this period the department conducted saturation patrols on three dates, June 29, July 3, and July 6 to increase safety on our community’s roadways.
During the mobilization, the Crystal Lake Police Department:
Stopped an additional 31 motorists for traffic violations
Issued a total of 33 traffic citations and warnings:
7 safety belt citations
1 child restraint citation
4 unlawful use of an electronic communications device citations
10 speeding citations
1 operation uninsured motor vehicle citation
2 equipment and other moving citations
1 operating a vehicle without a valid license citation
7 written warnings
The recent traffic enforcement effort was funded by federal traffic safety funds through IDOT’s Division of Traffic Safety and is part of the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled over” and “Click it or Ticket” campaigns.
Additional enforcement campaigns are planned for the future.
No illegal aliens arrested. Too much paperwork. Gotta get to Dunkin‘ Donuts and my quota of tickets.
4 unlawful use of an electronic communications device citations.
That’s pitiful.
I could have written that many at one stoplight.
Cell phones are a disease.
7 safety belt citations.
That is really pitiful.
Why do the illegals get the warnings but the ‘blancos’ get the tickets?
Wonder what the stats would have been on a normal weekend
