Oswego Police Department issued 82 seat belt citations during the recent Fourth of July Drive Click It or Ticket safety campaign. In addition, police issued 11 distracted driving citations, made four arrests, and issued four other traffic violation citations.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this Statewide effort to encourage seat belt use.
Oswego Police joined forces with more than 200 other state and local law enforcement agencies conducting the crackdown, which featured high-visibility enforcement combined with a variety of outreach activities including a media campaign.
The Illinois Independence Day enforcement campaign is funded with federal highway safety dollars administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation and supported by the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies across the State. It’s reinforced with IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign, which shares real stories of Illinois residents lost in fatal crashes.
