Riverside Police Department Releases Thanksgiving


Enforcement Mobilization Numbers
Riverside, IL The Riverside Police Department conducted enforcement from November
16-29, 2015, reminding motorists to buckle up and not drive impaired during the
Click It or Ticket mobilization. The Riverside Police Department joined other
state and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois to reduce highway
fatalities by cracking down on unbuckled motorists and impaired drivers.
During the mobilization, The Riverside Police Department issued a total of 52
citations.

13 speeding citations
9 seat belt citations
8 uninsured motorists
3 drug arrests
1 suspended/revoked licenses
18 other violations

During this same time period Riverside personnel arrested 3 DUI offenders.
The annual Click It or Ticket mobilization may be over in Riverside, but that is no excuse to
stop using your seat belt. Our officers are out all year long. If you or your passengers are
caught not wearing a seat belt, day or night, you will be cited for the safety violation, says
Sergeant Jeff Miller.
The recent law enforcement mobilization was funded by federal traffic safety funds through the
Illinois Department of Transportation and is part of the nationwide Click It or Ticket and Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns.
