RPD Releases “Fall Enforcement Patrol” Numbers

(Robinson) — The Robinson Police Department has released the numbers from its “Fall Enforcement Patrol.” According to Robinson Police Chief, Eric Schmidt, the Robinson Police Department conducted a successful Halloween enforcement safety crackdown, resulting in 2 impaired driving arrests and 1 uninsured motorist citation. He says additionally, officers issued 5 other citations for moving violations. Schmidt says that law enforcement agencies across Illinois participated in this statewide effort to save lives by removing impaired drivers from the roadways and ensuring more drivers and passengers were properly buckled up. The fall enforcement campaign, which ran from Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, was part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled” and “Drive High, Get a DUI” initiatives. This enforcement effort was made possible through federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
