Lombard Police Urge Residents to Drive Sober this Halloween 


The Lombard Police Department urges motorists to commit to sober driving, buckle up, and follow traffic laws this Halloween as children and families walk through neighborhoods after dark in search of candy and spooky fun. 

From Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, 2025, Lombard Police officers will increase traffic enforcement to identify and stop impaired drivers. If you plan to enjoy Halloween festivities, be sure to have a safe, sober ride home.
