September 2, 2025 – The Decatur Police Department conducted an impaired driving enforcement effort over Labor Day weekend, resulting in 7 arrests for driving under the influence. Additionally, 1 seat belt citation was issued during nighttime hours.
“Through the Labor Day safety campaign, we helped to make our roads safer and spread the word about the risks of impaired driving – ‘It’s Not a Game,’” said Sgt. Steve Hagemeyer.
The Decatur Police Department collaborated with other law enforcement agencies and highway safety partners across the state for the Illinois Labor Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High Get a DUI” campaign.
This effort was part of the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High Get a DUI” and “Click It or Ticket” initiatives, funded by federal highway safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
