The Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, it made zero DUI Arrests and issued four seat belt Citations, during the recent Super Bowl Enforcement campaign. Four Citations were issued for Speeding.

The Super Bowl weekend “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” Enforcement effort ran from Friday, February 10, through the early morning hours of Monday, February 13. The goals were to keep impaired drivers off the roads and ensure more people buckled up and followed all traffic safety laws.

“Motorists should understand that we are serious about cracking down on impaired drivers and seat belt and other traffic safety law violators. We do it to save lives,” said Sheriff John F. Booker.

The recent Law Enforcement campaign was made possible by Federal Highway Safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, as part of the Statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns.
