Minooka, IL – The Minooka Police Department is teaming up with the Illinois State Police and local agencies to launch a two-week “Click It or Ticket” and “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement effort aimed at keeping Thanksgiving travelers safe.
According to Chief Justin Meyer, the campaign will run November 21 through December 2, targeting seat belt violations, speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving involving alcohol or drugs, including cannabis.
“Seat belt use should be an automatic habit for everyone. It’s not about citations—it’s about saving lives and preventing serious injuries,” Chief Meyer said in a statement.
The enforcement push is part of a statewide safety initiative supported by federal traffic safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). It aligns with Illinois’ “Click It or Ticket” and “It’s Not a Game” safety campaigns.
Drivers across Will County and beyond are encouraged to plan ahead, designate a sober driver, and buckle up every trip—front seat or back—to avoid fines and prevent tragedies this holiday season.
