The Illinois Department of Transportation's Traffic Safety Division has issued the Schaumburg Police Department a grant to target occupant restraint, speeding and impaired driving violations.
This grant will allow the department to supplement regular patrols during five campaigns to be conducted through September. Each of the five campaigns will consist of nine enforcement dates covering locations determined to be high accident areas and or low seat belt usage areas.
Officers will be using a zero tolerance approach for persons disobeying the state seat belt, child restraint and speeding and DUI laws.
