The Barrington Hills Police Department today announced it issued 13 speeding citations along with one (1) distracted driving citation and 12 other citations during the recent Super Bowl enforcement campaign. Enforcement focused on impaired driving involving alcohol, cannabis and other drugs.
“Motorists should understand that we are serious about cracking down on impaired drivers and seat belt and other traffic safety law violators. We do it to save lives,” said Sgt. David M. Kann. “Whether it’s alcohol, cannabis or other drugs, impaired driving puts everyone at risk.”
The Super Bowl weekend “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” enforcement effort ran from Friday, Feb. 6, through the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 9. The goal was to keep impaired drivers off the roads and ensure more people buckle up and follow all traffic laws.
The law enforcement campaign was made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
