690 speeding tickets and made six DUI arrests as part of a

criminal arrests, and 15 traffic arrests, along with issuing 5 occupant restraint

0:47
Department's enhanced traffic enforcement efforts, conducted between October 1, 2025 and September
0:53
30, 2026, were designed to reduce crashes and save lives on Illinois
0:58
roadways. The traffic enforcement campaign was
1:01
funded through the Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program grant. Our goal was simple,
1:07
safer roads for everyone, Kendall County Under Sheriff Bobby Richardson said in
1:11
a news release. By focusing on the leading causes of crashes, we
1:15
work to save lives and urge drivers to take responsibility, because unsafe
1:19
driving puts everyone at risk. The grant was funded with federal highway
1:24
safety funds and administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation as part
1:29
of a statewide effort to improve traffic safety and reduce fatalities.
