The Arlington Heights Police Department will commence specialized traffic enforcement activities relating to the Labor Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” holiday enforcement campaigns from August 16, 2013 through Labor Day.

Enforcement activities will include numerous seatbelt enforcement zones, impaired driving saturation patrols, and a Roadside Safety Checkpoint. The checkpoint will take place on August 16, 2013 on Arlington Heights Road south of Algonquin Road.

Officers working the campaigns will be attempting to identify and cite motorists who choose to drive without using their safety belts, are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or are committing other traffic-related offenses.

The campaigns are funded with federal traffic safety funds, which are administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation – Division of Traffic Safety.
