Oswego Police Release Labor Day Campaign Results

OSWEGO, IL — Oswego police released Thursday the results of their Labor Day traffic safety campaign.

Officers wrote 67 tickets and made one arrest for driving with a suspended or revoked license.

Here's a look at the breakdown of citations issued:

• 59 seat belt
• 5 distracted driving
• 3 speeding

"Through the Labor Day safety campaign, we helped to make our roads safer and spread the word about the risks of not wearing a seat belt — 'It's Not a Game,'" Police spokesperson Cathy Nevara said in a statement.

Oswego police used phrases including "Click It or Ticket," "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over," and "Drive High, Get a DUI" to promote the safety effort in collaboration with Illinois State Police and other local agencies.

The campaign was funded by federal highway safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
