The Evanston Police Releases Fourth of July Enforcement Statistics
Evanston, IL - The Evanston Police Department made 3 impaired driving arrests, including alcohol and cannabis-related arrests, and issued 67 seat belt citations during the recent Fourth of July “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High Get a DUI,” and “Click It or Ticket” safety campaigns that ran from June 20 through July 7.
EPD also took the following additional actions:
- 1 child safety restraint citation
- 14 no insurance citations
- 21 speeding citations
- 25 stop sign violation citations
- 44 distracted driving citations
- 71 assorted moving and non-moving citations
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this statewide effort to get drunk, high and drugged drivers off our roads and encourage seat belt use.
The Evanston Police Department joined forces with more than 200 other state and local law enforcement agencies conducting the safety effort, which featured high-visibility enforcement combined with a variety of outreach activities, including a media campaign.
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.
