Will County, IL – The Will County Sheriff’s Office announced results from its fall enforcement campaign, revealing nine impaired driving arrests and dozens of citations issued during a two-week safety effort aimed at reducing roadway crashes and impaired driving incidents.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the Halloween enforcement period resulted in 25 speeding citations, six uninsured motorist citations, three suspended or revoked driver’s license arrests, and 35 additional violations. The crackdown was part of Illinois’ broader “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” campaigns, which ran from October 24 through November 3, 2025.
Law enforcement agencies across Illinois participated in the statewide operation, which focused on removing impaired drivers from local roads and ensuring motorists were properly restrained. The Will County Sheriff’s Office emphasized that the initiative was designed to save lives during one of the year’s most dangerous driving periods — the Halloween weekend.
The campaign was funded through federal highway safety grants administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), supporting ongoing efforts to improve roadway safety through targeted enforcement and education programs.
