August 15, 2024 – The Decatur Police Department kicked off a traffic safety campaign aimed at reducing impaired driving and other hazardous driving behaviors, such as distracted driving and failure to use seat belts.
With messages like “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “If You Feel Different, You Drive Different,” “Drive High Get a DUI” and “Click It or Ticket,” this high-visibility enforcement initiative will run from August 16th through the early morning hours of September 3rd, encompassing Labor Day weekend.
“We want our community to understand the importance of making smart decisions behind the wheel, on Labor Day and every day,” said Sgt. Steve Hagemeyer. “While our goal is voluntary compliance, drivers should expect strict enforcement of all traffic laws on Decatur roads every day.”
The Decatur Police Department is collaborating with the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois to support this statewide effort.
