The Lake in the Hills Police Department announces ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaign numbers

Lake in the Hills, IL – On Thursday, June 1 2023, Lake in the Hills Police Department announced it issued 35 citations during the recent Memorial Day “Click It or Ticket” enforcement period.

• 1 arrest for Driving with a Suspended License
