Cops To Crack Down On Drivers During Thanksgiving In Lisle
Lisle drivers will notice increased patrols in the days leading up to and following Thanksgiving.
LISLE, IL — As Thanksgiving approaches, drivers in Lisle are likely to see more cops patrolling the village streets. Increased enforcement will lead up to the holiday and span Thanksgiving weekend in an effort to increase traffic safety.
The safety campaign started Nov. 17 and will run through Nov. 27.
“Thanksgiving means more vehicles on the road – and as a result, a higher risk of crashes,” said
Lisle’s Chief of Police Kevin Licko. “We will have extra officers on duty looking for impaired drivers and anyone not wearing a seat belt. So please, no matter how long or short your drive, remember to wear your seat belt and do not drive if you are impaired.”
