McHenry County Sheriff’s Office today announced it is partnering with the Illinois State Police and law enforcement across the state to step up efforts to stop impaired driving and help save lives as we near the end of summer and the busy Labor Day weekend. No matter how you plan to celebrate summer’s end, make sure you do it safely.
The high-visibility “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement campaign runs from August 18 through September 5. During this period, motorists can expect to see more officers on the road and increased messaging about the dangers of impaired driving.
In addition to looking for impaired drivers, McHenry County Sheriff’s Office will be stepping up seat belt, speeding, and distracted driving enforcement.
The Labor Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI.” enforcement efforts are made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
