PEKIN, Ill. – Expect to see more police on the roads in Pekin starting Friday and running through the Fourth of July.
Officers are launching a statewide crackdown on impaired and unbuckled drivers, teaming up with agencies across Illinois. This effort covers the next three weekends, so if you’re heading out to celebrate the holiday, plan ahead.
The bottom line is simple: have a sober ride home if you’re drinking, and buckle up every single time you get behind the wheel. It’s the easiest way to stay safe and keep you out of trouble with the law. If you see someone driving dangerously, pull over and dial 911.
