    The Riverside Police Department will conduct an aggressive traffic enforcement initiative in 2016 in response to complaints about speeding vehicles. As part of this initiative, the police purchased an unmarked 2016 Ford Explorer equipped with speed detection technology for use in residential traffic enforcement and DUI patrols. The new unmarked vehicle will allow officers to better observe driving violations as they blend in with regular traffic until emergency lights are activated. In addition to addressing speeding, the police will increase enforcement of DUI and seatbelt violations. The vehicle was paid for entirely with funds from DUI convictions, requiring no local tax money.

    NEWS RELEASE

    RIVERSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT


    31 Riverside Road, Riverside, Illinois 60546

    30 November 2015
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Chief Tom Weitzel

    Riverside Police Purchase Conviction-Funded Traffic Enforcement Vehicle


    Police deploy unmarked car for speed enforcement and DUI mission patrols
    In response to complaints from residents regarding speeding vehicles in residential neighborhoods,

    Riverside Police Department will conduct an aggressive traffic enforcement initiative in


    2016. As part of that initiative, Riverside Police purchased and outfitted a 2016 Ford
    Explorer, unmarked, for residential traffic enforcement and DUI mission patrol work.
    Police officers will be using both marked and unmarked police vehicles equipped with speed
    detection technology as part of this initiative in order to more easily identify motorists who
    are violating a law, said Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel.
    Unmarked vehicles allow officers to better observe driving violations by blending in with
    everyday traffic - but are unmistakable as emergency vehicles once emergency lights are
    activated.
    In addition to residential speeding violations, Riverside Police Department is increasing
    enforcement of DUI and seatbelt violations.
    We want people to know that police now drive different types of vehicles while out
    patrolling and, hopefully, if drivers are aware of that, then maybe theyll drive more safely at
    all times not just when they see a marked squad car, said Sergeant Jeff Miller, the
    Riverside Police Department traffic supervisor.
    The new vehicle was paid for and outfitted entirely with funds from DUI convictions. No
    village funds or matching funds were spent on the new unmarked traffic enforcement
    vehicle.
