Posted

The Lombard Police Department recently concluded its Halloween traffic enforcement campaign, issuing 110 citations for seat belt and child safety seat violations, along with citations and arrests for other traffic offenses. From Oct. 23 through Nov. 2, 2026, officers increased enforcement efforts to identify impaired drivers and improve driver and passenger safety during the holiday period.

During the campaign, officers issued the following citations and made the following arrests:

  • 95 seat belt citations
  • 15 child safety seat citations
  • 16 speeding citations
  • 29 distracted driving citations (cellphone use)
  • 13 other citations (moving/non-moving violations)
  • 4 traffic arrests (no valid, suspended, or revoked licenses)
  • 1 driving under the influence (DUI) arrest
  • 5 criminal arrests

As part of Illinois' Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Drive High. Get a DUI. campaigns, the Lombard Police Department joined law enforcement agencies across the state in efforts to remove impaired drivers from the roads and increase seat belt use.

The campaign serves as a reminder of the importance of driving sober, buckling up and following traffic laws to help keep everyone safe.
