West Dundee Police Department joins statewide Labor Day traffic safety effort focused on impaired, distracted and unsafe driving

West Dundee Police, IL – The West Dundee Police Department is proud to be one of over 200 law enforcement agencies across Illinois participating in the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns this Labor Day. From Aug. 14 through the early morning hours of Sept. 8, officers will be out in force, focused on stopping impaired driving, enforcing seat belt laws and reducing other dangerous driving behaviors.

Officers will also be enforcing seat belt laws as part of the “Click It or Ticket” initiative. Buckling up is the most effective way to prevent serious injury or death in a crash. Everyone in the vehicle — front seat or back — should be properly buckled, every trip.

In addition to alcohol, officers will be on the lookout for drivers impaired by cannabis and other drugs. Messages like “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” are part of a statewide education and enforcement effort aimed at saving lives.

This local effort is part of a larger statewide campaign supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation, which administers the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns with federal highway safety funds. The initiative is reinforced by IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign running across radio, TV and digital platforms to highlight the deadly consequences of impaired driving.

The West Dundee Police Department joined more than 200 other state and local law enforcement agencies in Illinois conducting the “Click It or Ticket” safety campaign that ran from June 19th through July 6th. WDPD issued eight seatbelt citations as part of this state-funded initiative.

While these efforts specifically targeted seatbelt use, traffic stops made during seatbelt enforcement operations also included one citation for distracted driving and three speeding citations. (It is important to note these statistics only reflect activity specific to the IDOT seatbelt grant and do not represent overall traffic enforcement. For example, the police department conducted more than 300 traffic stops in June alone).

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. These 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.
