Will County Sheriff's Office Announces Labor Day Enforcement Campaign

WILL COUNTY, IL — The Will County Sheriff's Office announced that it has kicked off a traffic safety campaign aimed at reducing impaired driving and other hazardous driving behaviors.

With messages like "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over," "If You Feel Different, You Drive Different," "Drive High Get a DUI" and "Click It or Ticket", this high-visibility enforcement initiative will run from Aug. 16 through the early morning hours of Sept. 3, encompassing Labor Day weekend.

"We want our community to understand the importance of making smart decisions behind the wheel, on Labor Day and every day," sheriff's officials said. "While our goal is voluntary compliance, drivers should expect strict enforcement of all traffic laws on the roads of Will County every day."

The Will County Sheriff's Office is collaborating with the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois to support this statewide effort.

In addition to targeting impaired drivers, the campaign will emphasize the "Click It or Ticket" initiative, underscoring the importance of wearing seat belts.

If you're heading out during Labor Day weekend, remember to designate a sober driver. Do not let friends or family members drive drunk, high, or impaired by other drugs, the sheriff's office said.

The campaigns are administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation with federal dollars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
