20 Seatbelt Citations Issued During Lockport Holiday Enforcement

LOCKPORT, IL — During its recent holiday enforcement, Lockport Police issued 20 seatbelt and child safety seat citations, six speeding citations and 14 other moving/equipment citations, according to the department.

Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this effort to save lives by getting
impaired drivers off the roads and more people buckled up, the department said. The enforcement campaign took place from Dec. 17 through Jan. 3.

During the mobilization, extra emphasis was placed on enforcement during late-night hours,
when statistics show the most unbuckled and impaired driving fatalities occur, according to the department.

The holiday enforcement effort was made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered
by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
