NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 12 November 2021
(Chicago) – During its recent Halloween enforcement effort, the University of Illinois Chicago Police Department (UICPD) made two arrests for Driving while License Suspended/No Valid Driver’s License. In addition, officers stopped 38 vehicles and issued 22 citations.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this effort to save lives by getting impaired drivers off the roads and more motorists buckled up. The enforcement campaign took place from Oct. 16 through Nov. 1.
Extra emphasis was placed on enforcement during late-night hours, when statistics show the most unbuckled and impaired driving fatalities occur.
The recent law enforcement campaign was made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation and is part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
