Sheriff’s Office Ties for First in Championship Category of the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office was notified by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police for their first-place tie in the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge – Championship Category.

The Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge, coordinated by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, is designed to challenge police departments to address traffic safety concerns in unique ways.

Departments are judged in the following categories:

  • policy,
  • training,
  • recognitions,
  • public education,
  • enforcement, and
  • effectiveness.

After reviewing the individual department’s accomplishments, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police recognizes the law enforcement agencies in the state that were able to demonstrate exemplary traffic safety and enforcement programs.

The Championship Category is a grouping of all previous first place wins, regardless of agency size, competing against each other.

Deputies within MCSO’s Traffic Unit, along with civilian employees, presented a compilation of data, photographs, crash records, and information to secure a win in their category.

MCSO and other winning agencies will be presented with prizes at an awards banquet in August.

The Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Traffic safety has also assisted the Sheriff’s Office efforts through providing grant funding in occupant protection, speed enforcement, construction zone safety, and impaired driving.

All the efforts put forth have one common goal: making the roadways of McHenry County a safer place to be for our community.

  1. Bugtussle held a .0003 % lead over Fluggerwanger, but the Fluggerwanger camp pointed to statistically significant trend vectors resulting in the tie.

    Idiots….

  2. About the only category that’s easily quantified is enforcement, so there’s a real possibility that this “challenge” is basically a ticket writing contest in disguise. What could possibility go wrong?
