This past holiday season, Quincy PD teamed up with the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies statewide for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI.” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns. From Dec. 12 through Jan. 5, officers focused on removing impaired drivers from the road and ensuring that motorists were properly buckled.

From rural routes and small-town streets to busy suburban arterials and city expressways, the goal was the same: to prevent crashes and save lives.

The result? A safer holiday season with the following citations or warnings:

0 impaired driving arrests (alcohol- and cannabis-related)
9 citations for seat belt violations
35 citations for speeding
4 citations for cell phone usage
10 citations for uninsured motor vehicle
8 citations for suspended registration
9 arrests for warrants
34 warnings for speeding
16 warnings for miscellaneous traffic violations

“We can’t stress it enough: impaired driving is a deadly gamble, no matter where you live,” said Sgt. Witt. “Whether it’s alcohol, cannabis, or any other drug, driving impaired is illegal, irresponsible and puts lives at risk — yours, your passengers’, and everyone else’s on the road. That’s why we do this.”

The holiday enforcement campaign was administered by IDOT with federal highway safety funds managed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is part of Illinois’ “It’s Not a Game” statewide media outreach program.
