Palos Park, IL – As football fans gear up for tonight’s big game, the Palos Park Police Department is reminding residents to celebrate safely and avoid impaired driving. The department’s social media message urges drivers to “celebrate in the end zone, not in the back of a patrol car,” encouraging everyone to designate a sober driver before kickoff.
According to the Palos Park Police Department, officers will be on heightened alert for impaired drivers throughout game night. The reminder comes as part of an ongoing effort to prevent DUI-related crashes and ensure community safety during major sporting events.
Police emphasized that anyone consuming alcohol should arrange a safe ride home through a designated driver, taxi, or rideshare service. “Let’s keep the celebrations safe,” the department wrote in its message, noting the community spirit surrounding the Chicago Bears game.
The department’s campaign aligns with statewide initiatives urging responsible driving during peak celebration weekends.
