The ILACP held the campaign in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies across the state. It was conducted in an effort to promote safe roads and save lives.
162 of the participating agencies reported their results. In total, ILACP said officers put 4,517 hours toward targeted traffic safety enforcement and education. This effort resulted in the following results:
Other notable enforcement efforts included the recovery of six firearms, an officer locating a missing suicidal subject during a traffic stop, a burglary suspect being apprehended during a traffic stop and a vehicle wanted in a hit-and-run being recovered.
On top of that, officers made a felony cannabis arrest, multiple arrests for fleeing and eluding, an arrest on a warrant for aggravated battery and several arrests for aggravated speeding.
Additionally, the ILACP said this year’s campaign saw nearly 100 community outreach efforts.
“Speed Awareness Day is more than just enforcement; it’s about saving lives through education, visibility, and community engagement,” said Kenny Winslow, ILACP Executive Director. “This year’s results show the dedication of Illinois law enforcement to making our roads safer for everyone.”
Illinois Speed Awareness Day began in 2016 and continues to grow through its partnerships and efforts from local law enforcement agencies. For more information on this campaign, click here.
