Illinois State Police Announce Special Traffic Enforcement Patrols
COLLINSVILLE, IL – Captain Brad Parsons, District 11 Commander, announced today that the Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct special Traffic Enforcement Patrols (sTEP) in St. Clair or Madison County during the month of May.
The sTEP program involves a combination of increased enforcement and public information designed to raise public awareness and compliance to all traffic laws. District 11 Troopers will concentrate on speeding, failure to use occupant restraints, and other driving offenses as part of their enforcement efforts. Speeding is a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes nationwide. In Illinois, speed-related crashes account for 37 percent of all traffic fatalities.
Safety Belt Enforcement Zones may also be used during the sTEP program. Troopers will enforce the primary safety belt law to ensure drivers and all of their passengers are buckled up.
Every hour someone dies in America simply because they are not wearing their safety belt. Statistics show that half of all people killed in traffic crashes are not properly buckled up. You can save your life by driving safely and simply buckling up.
This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

Illinois State Police to Conduct Nighttime Enforcement Patrols
COLLINSVILLE, IL – Captain Brad Parsons, District 11 Commander, announced today that the Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct Nighttime Enforcement Patrols (NITE) in St. Clair or Madison County during the month of May.
Officers working NITE patrols will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, not properly buckled up and driving under the influence.
Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in over 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired drivers. If you drive drunk, you will be arrested.
These nighttime patrols are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road and ensuring all vehicle occupants are buckled up.
This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

Illinois State Police to Conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols
COLLINSVILLE, IL – Captain Brad Parsons, District 11 Commander, announced today that the Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) in St. Clair or Madison County during the month of May.
OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws. Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Beginning January 1, 2012, Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up!
Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save over 16,000 lives each year. Over half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly buckled up.
The objective of this program is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections, and enforcement. Greater awareness, acceptance, and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives.
This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

ILLINOIS STATE POLICE ANNOUNCES UPCOMING ROADSIDE SAFETY CHECKS.
COLLINSVILLE, IL – Captain Brad Parsons, District 11 Commander, announced today that the Illinois State Police may conduct Roadside Safety Checks (R.S.C) in St. Clair or Madison counties during the month of May.
A roadside safety check is an effective tool for generating voluntary compliance by the motoring public. The potential to come across these checks encourages motorists to arrange designated drivers, keep their consumption of alcohol within the allowable limits, or not drive a motor vehicle after drinking. Safety checks are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road.
Across the country, an average of one alcohol-related traffic death occurs every 45 minutes. Alcohol and drug impairment are significant factors in over 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. Each year in Illinois, hundreds of lives are lost in alcohol-related crashes. Don’t risk losing your license, your car, and your freedom. If you drive impaired, law enforcement will arrest you.
Officers working the R.S.C. will also be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, and transporting open alcoholic beverages.
This Roadside Safety Check is funded through a grant from the United States Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.
