3-Week Labor Day Traffic Enforcement Begins In Oswego

OSWEGO, IL — Oswego police are joining more than 200 law enforcement agencies across the state for a three-week traffic enforcement campaign encompassing Labor Day, officials said Wednesday.

From Aug. 14 through the early morning hours of Sept. 8, police will be out in force targeting impaired driving, enforcing seat belt usage and reducing other dangerous driving behaviors.

The campaign uses the slogans "Click It or Ticket," "Drive High, Get a DUI" and "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."

"Buckling up is the most effective way to prevent serious injury or death in a crash," police wrote in a news release. "Everyone in the vehicle, front seat and back, should be properly buckled, every trip."

The campaign is paid for by federal safety highway funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
