Bartlett launches St. Patrick’s Day traffic crackdown

The Bartlett Police Department will be participating in the Illinois Department of Transportation’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” St. Patrick’s Day Campaign Monday, March 12 through Monday, March 19. The Bartlett Police Department’s participation in this statewide traffic safety initiative was fully funded by a grant through the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety in order to deter impaired driving and seat belt infractions. The Bartlett Police Department was awarded a total of 20 additional manpower hours to strictly enforce daytime and nighttime seat belt violations and approximately 70 additional manpower hours to conduct DUI saturation patrols.
