PD Announces Results of Fall Enforcement Campaign

Fox Lake, IL - The Fox Lake Police Department conducted a successful Halloween enforcement campaign, resulting in 2 citations for seat belt and child safety seat violations, 2 citations for uninsured motor vehicle, 4 citations for speeding, 4 citations for suspended registration, 8 citations for equipment violations, and 4 citations for speeding. Additionally, officers made 3 arrests for driving while license suspended, 1 arrest for driving while license revoked, 2 arrests for drug offenses, and 1 warrant arrest.

Law enforcement agencies across Illinois participated in this statewide effort to save lives by removing impaired drivers from the roads and ensuring more drivers and passengers were properly buckled up. The fall enforcement campaign, which ran from Oct. 18 through Nov. 1, was part of the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" and "Click It or Ticket" initiatives.

Special attention was given to late-night enforcement, as data shows that this is when the highest number of impaired driving incidents and unbuckled fatalities occur.

This enforcement effort was made possible through federal highway safety funds provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
