Police efforts around Super Bowl net results

The Hinsdale Police Department announced it made one driving under the influence of alcohol arrest and issued 10 speeding citations and one other traffic violation during the recent Super Bowl enforcement campaign.

“Because of these efforts to crack down on impaired drivers and ensure more people buckle up, the streets were safer over Super Bowl weekend,” said Deputy Chief Thomas Lillie. “Keeping impaired drivers off the roads saves lives.”

The Super Bowl weekend enforcement effort ran from Friday, Jan. 31, through the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 3.

The recent law enforcement campaign was made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation as part of the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns.
