    54 Citations during Holiday Crackdown
    From December 18 through January 3, you probably noticed an increase in police activity around
    Riverside. The Riverside Police Department participated in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled
    Over drunk driving enforcement campaign, showing zero tolerance for impaired
    driving and arresting 3 offenders for driving while impaired. In addition, 51 other
    citations were issued. The local effort was part of a nationwide campaign in
    partnership with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and
    law enforcement agencies across Illinois.
    During the campaign, The Riverside Police Department ramped up its enforcement
    efforts.
    Officers worked a total of 36 hours, working 9 different saturation patrol details over the two
    week period. By removing 3 drunk drivers from local roads, theres no telling how many lives were
    saved.
    What should be a merry and joyful time of year gets overshadowed by drunk driving, time and time
    again. We gave Riverside drivers plenty of warning that wed be stopping drunk drivers, and we did
    just that, said Sergeant Miller. Drunk driving is a reckless, 100% preventable crime, and one that
    leads to disaster.
    We worked really hard and stepped up to the challenge, added Sergeant Miller. To us, if we saved
    one life, the campaign was worthwhile.
    The recent law enforcement crackdown was coordinated by the Illinois Department of Transportation as
    part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
