Lisle Police To Increase Patrols For Halloween Weekend

LISLE, IL — Lisle patrol officers will be out in full force for Halloween to help ensure that drivers and trick-or-treaters stay safe. Police will especially be on the lookout for drunk and impaired drivers, per a news release from the village.

Lisle police recommend taking the following safety precautions:

• Get a ride from a designated driver who is sober
• Take public transit
• Call a cab or use a rideshare service
• Wear your seatbelt
• Don't let friends drive impaired
• Call police if you see an impaired driver on the road
• If you're walking, make sure you're joined by a sober friend

“Alcohol and cannabis impair your ability to drive safely,” Sergeant William Wise said in a statement.

He added, “That is why it is crucial to plan how you will get home before you head out – whether
you have been drinking or using any substance. And do not forget to wear your seatbelt: every trip, every time. Planning ahead, driving sober, and buckling up will help keep you and others safe.”

The Lisle Police Department's crackdown is part of a statewide safety initiative supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
