Bolingbrook Police Issue 29 Seat Belt Citations During Labor Day Enforcement

BOLINGBROOK, IL — The Bolingbrook Police Department announced it issued 29 seat belt and child safety seat citations during its occupant protection enforcement efforts over Labor Day weekend, according to a news release.

Nine of those citations were issued during nighttime hours, police said. 22 other citations were also issued for speeding and various other vehicle code violations.

"Through the Labor Day safety campaign, we helped to make our roads safer and spread the word about the risks of not buckling up," Bolingbrook Police said. "Buckling up is the most effective way to prevent serious injury or death in a crash. Everyone in the vehicle — front seat or back — should be properly buckled, every trip."

BPD collaborated with other law enforcement agencies and highway safety partners across the state for the Illinois Labor Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over”, “Drive High Get a DUI”, and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns.
