The Bolingbrook Police Department is teaming up with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois State Police and more than 200 other local law enforcement agencies to increase enforcement efforts as part of the "Drop It and Drive" campaign paid for by federal safety funds administered by IDOT.
