Increased Patrols To Watch For Speeding Drivers In Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — Drivers will see more Naperville Police Department squad cars on the roadways this week as officers crack down on speed violations.

The week-long safety campaign aims to deter speeding and make drivers more aware of its risks.

"We’re pleased to receive this grant to step up our road safety efforts with the goal of saving lives," Naperville Police Sgt. Derek Zook said in a statement. "Our mission is to make travel safer through directed, proactive patrols and to stop, cite and arrest those who choose to violate traffic laws."

The initiative is supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation's Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant.
