Lisle Police To Target Drunk, Impaired Drivers For Halloween Traffic Safety Push

LISLE, IL — Police in Lisle will be out in full force to target drunk and impaired drivers during a traffic safety push in the days leading up to Halloween. They'll also be on the lookout for seatbelt violations.

"Alcohol and cannabis impair your ability to drive safely," Sergeant William Wise said in a statement.

He added, "That's why it's crucial to plan how you'll get home before you head out. And don't forget to wear your seat belt every trip, every time. Planning ahead, driving sober, and buckling up will help keep you and others safe."

Lisle police recommend taking the following safety precautions:

• Get a ride from a designated driver who is sober
• Take public transit
• Call a cab or use a rideshare service
• Wear your seatbelt
• Don't let friends drive impaired
• Call police if you see an impaired driver on the road
• If you're walking, make sure you're joined by a sober friend

The Lisle Police Department's crackdown is part of a statewide safety initiative supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
