Kankakee, IL – The Kankakee Police Department has released the results of its recent Halloween safety enforcement campaign, which targeted impaired and unsafe driving behaviors across the city. The crackdown resulted in 23 citations for seat belt and child safety seat violations, along with multiple other offenses.
According to the department, officers also issued six citations for suspended or revoked driver’s licenses, nine for uninsured motorists, and two for illegal transportation of alcohol in vehicles. Additional citations included distracted driving and disregarding stop signs, as police increased patrols from October 24 through November 3, 2025.
The initiative was part of Illinois’ “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High, Get a DUI” campaigns, aimed at preventing impaired driving and promoting road safety during the busy Halloween season.
Law enforcement agencies statewide joined in the campaign, focusing on both child passenger safety and driver responsibility. Officials said the effort was supported by federal highway safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Police emphasized that such enforcement efforts will continue throughout the year to reduce traffic fatalities and encourage compliance with seat belt and DUI laws.
