Arlington Heights Police Up Enforcement for Holidays

The Arlington Heights Police Department will again be increasing patrols, working to keep the roads safe as holiday celebrations commence from Christmas to New Year's Eve during the holiday enforcement campaign. 

Through grant assistance from the Illinois Department of Transportation, Arlington Heights police will be stepping up patrols as they have during past major holiday periods.

Designed by IDOT, the traffic safety enforcement campaigns coincide with selected holiday periods in which there are documented increases of traffic-related crashes and injuries, like Christmas and New Years. 

From now until January 1, 2013, Arlington Heights officers will be conducting numerous impaired driving saturation patrols.

Officers working these additional patrols are looking to identify and cite motorists who choose to drive while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, without using their safety belts, or are committing other traffic-related offenses including but not limited to equipment, registration, driver’s license, and insurance violations.

Through IDOT’s Christmas & New Year’s Holiday Enforcement Campaign, police will increase patrols to keep the roads as safe as possible during the holiday season.
