Plainfield Police Will Be 'Out In Full Force' For Final Traffic Enforcement Of 2025

PLAINFIELD, IL — The Plainfield Police Department launched its final traffic enforcement campaign of 2025, encompassing the Christmas and New Year's holidays, officials announced.

Beginning Dec. 12 through Jan. 5, Plainfield officers will join law enforcement agencies statewide to enforce the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over," "Drive High, Get a DUI" and "Click It or Ticket" campaigns.

Plainfield police will be "out in full force" enforcing traffic laws. If a driver is pulled over, "no excuses will be accepted," according to Sgt. Dino Dabezic.

"This season let's make safety our shared priority," he said in a statement. "If you plan to drink or use impairing substances, plan for a sober ride home and always wear your seat belt. Driving impaired isn’t just dangerous; it’s unacceptable."

Officials shared the following tips, urging residents to prevent driving impaired and reduce the severity of crashes:

• Plan: Designate a sober driver, use public transportation or arrange for a ride-sharing service.
• Check local options: Utilize your community's sober ride programs.
• Be a hero: Stop a friend from driving impaired by taking their keys and helping them get home safely.
• Buckle up: It's your best defense against impaired drivers and one of the simplest ways to save a life.
• Slow down and stay focused: Obey the speed limit and avoid distractions such as texting, scrolling or gaming while driving.
