The Brookfield Police Department today announced the results of its Memorial Day 2026 “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaign, which focused on increasing seat belt use and keeping roads safe during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.

Funded through federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the campaign resulted in the following enforcement actions:

• 8 seat belt citations issued
• 1 suspended/revoked license action
• 1 uninsured motorist citation
• 37 speeding citations
• 2 distracted driving citations

The Brookfield Police Department reminds motorists that traffic safety remains a shared responsibility. Buckling up, obeying speed limits and staying focused behind the wheel help keep everyone safe on our roads.
