See How Many Citations Oswego Police Issued At Christmas, NYE

OSWEGO, IL — The Oswego Police Department unveiled how many tickets they issued during the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign from Dec. 13 to Jan. 2.

Officials said on Monday that police wrote 48 citations for seat belt, speeding, distracted driving and other traffic offenses. Officers also made five arrests.

To achieve their results, police intensified enforcement efforts, deploying additional patrol units to deter "risky behaviors and catch offenders."
