LISLE, IL — Fourth of July 2023 is fast approaching and Lisle police are planning to crack down on drunk and impaired driving as part of their annual safety campaign.
Residents will notice increased patrols during the initiative, which started June 16.

marijuana,” Lisle Chief of Police Kevin Licko said in a news release. "Extra Lisle officers will be working to remove impaired drivers from the roads and enforce all other traffic laws. We’re doing it to save lives."
