Roadside Safety Check

Illinois State Police Announce Roadside Safety Check to be Conducted in DeKalb County  – The Illinois State Police (ISP), District 15, will conduct a Roadside Safety Check (RSC) in DeKalb County during the late evening hours of August 23, 2019, until the early morning hours of August 24, 2019. According to Commander Dominic Chiappini, the RSC will be held on the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I‐88) on the ramp from I‐88 to Annie Glidden Road at milepost 91.4. The ISP has zero-tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois. Officers working this detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, or driving under the influence (DUI).    Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. RSCs are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
