 Bartlett Police to Participate in IDOT’s Independence Day DUI & Occupant Protection Enforcement Campaigns

Bartlett Police Department will be participating in the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Independence Day DUI and Occupant Protection Traffic Enforcement Campaigns on Friday, June 19, 2026, until Monday, July 6, 2026.  These traffic campaigns are fully funded by federal safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation’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.
