As Independence Day approaches, the Lombard Police Department is preparing for increased traffic enforcement to help ensure the safety of residents and motorists. The enforcement campaign will run from June 20 to July 7, covering the three summer weekends preceding and following the holiday. 
 
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 keys before you go out. 
  • If you are impaired by alcohol, cannabis or any other drug, call a taxi, take public transit use a ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely. 
  • Report suspected drunk drivers promptly to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911. 
  • Ensure that all passengers in your vehicle wear their seat belt. It’s not only the law, but also an important defense against impaired drivers.
