Wednesday 6/18/2025 - Bartlett Police Department will be participating in the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) Independence Day DUI and Occupant Protection Traffic Enforcement Campaigns from Friday, 6/20 until Monday, 7/7.  These traffic campaigns are fully funded by federal safety funds through the IDOT’s Bureau of Safety Programs & Engineering. 

To celebrate safely, designate a sober driver and don’t let friends or family members drive impaired. Other important tips include:

•    Give your designated driver your vehicle keys before you go out.
•    If you are impaired by alcohol, cannabis, or any other drug, call a taxi, take mass transit, use a ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.
•    Report impaired drivers to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911.
•    Make sure everyone in your vehicle wears their seat belt. Not only is it the law, but it’s also your best defense against an impaired driver
