The “Click It or Ticket” and “Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization was conducted by the Harwood Heights Police Department and other state and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois to help reduce highway fatalities. During the Holiday Enforcement Campaign, Harwood Heights officers worked an additional 79 hours of patrol taking the following enforcement actions: conducted 102 traffic stops; cited 47 seat belt violators; cited 13 distracted drivers; issued 25 other various traffic violation citations; and made 3 traffic arrests. “We issue tickets to remind drivers and passengers that seat belt use isn’t a suggestion, it’s the law,” said Sergeant Nick Ramirez. “This year’s campaign was successful in grabbing people’s attention with highly visible enforcement methods. As always, our goal is a safe community with safer drivers.” Holiday “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” and “Click It or Ticket” Campaigns Results
