Bridgeview Police officers conducted a successful Halloween enforcement safety crackdown, resulting in 1 impaired driving arrests and 16 citations for seat belt and child safety seat violations. Additionally, officers issued 14 citations for distracted driving, no insurance, suspended driver license and lane violation.
Law enforcement agencies across Illinois participated in this statewide effort to save lives by removing impaired drivers from the roadways and ensuring more drivers and passengers were properly buckled up.
The fall enforcement campaign, which ran from Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, was part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” initiatives.
This enforcement effort was made possible through federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
