Glendale Heights Police Department begins Fourth of July Traffic Safety Campaign

Glendale Heights, IL – The Glendale Heights Police Department announced plans for July Fourth traffic enforcement with a focus on impaired and unbuckled drivers. The safety campaign will run from June 20 through July 7 to encompass three summer weekends leading up to and after Independence Day.

“We’re asking all of our residents and visitors to celebrate Independence Day safely,” said Sgt Chris Parsons. “It’s simple: If you’re driving, don’t drink or use cannabis or other impairing substances. Our officers will be working diligently to keep impaired drivers off the road and ensure everyone is buckled up.”

The Glendale Heights Police Department will join the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local police and sheriff’s departments for the statewide effort.
To celebrate safely, designate a sober driver and don’t let friends or family members drive impaired. Other important tips include:
• Give your designated driver your keys before you go out.
• If you are impaired by alcohol, cannabis, or any other drug, call a taxi, take mass transit, use a ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.
• Use your community’s designated driver program (Insert your local program contact information if applicable).
• Promptly report impaired drivers to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911.
• Make sure everyone in your vehicle wears their seat belt. Not only is it the law, but it’s also your best defense against an impaired driver.

The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High Get a DUI” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns are made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The enforcement efforts are complemented by IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign, which emphasizes the serious consequences of impaired driving and other unsafe driving behaviors.

Our campers had an exciting and educational week at GHPD’s Safety Town!

They learned important lessons about bus safety, pedestrian rules, and what to do if they ever encounter a stranger. Campers got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Glendale Heights Police Station, practiced how and when to call 911, and even received fire safety tips from the Glenside Fire Protection District!

Thank you to our officers, firefighters, and staff for helping keep our kids informed and safe, all while having lots of fun along the way!
