January 15, 2024 – Decatur Police officers arrested 11 impaired drivers during holiday enforcement campaign.
The Decatur Police Department partnered with the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement across the state for the holiday “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” drunk-driving enforcement campaign. From Dec. 15th through Jan. 2nd, the Decatur Police Department showed zero tolerance for impaired driving, arresting 11 offenders.
“We need to drive this message home: Impaired driving is seriously risky business. It’s illegal, and it endangers the driver, their passengers and everyone else on the road,” said Sgt. Steve Hagemeyer. “The ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign helps our law enforcement deal with this problem head-on. If you’re under the influence, don’t get behind the wheel.”
