The Rockford Police Department plans stepped-up traffic enforcement for
July Fourth celebrations
Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, Drive High Get a DUI
ROCKFORD, IL – As Independence Day approaches, the Rockford Police Department is
gearing up for increased traffic enforcement to ensure the safety of all residents and
motorists. Now through the early morning hours of July 8, our officers will be working
tirelessly to keep impaired drivers off the road and ticketing unbuckled motorists.
The Rockford Police Department is collaborating with the Illinois State Police and over
200 local police and sheriff’s departments in this unified effort to enhance statewide
enforcement during this period.
To ensure a fun and safe holiday celebration, we urge everyone to follow these tips:
• Designate a sober driver before heading out.
• Prevent friends and family members from driving under the influence.
• If you find yourself impaired, use safe alternatives such as taxis, public transit, and
ride-sharing apps, or contact a sober friend or family member for a ride.
• Use designated driver programs available in your community.
• Report suspected drunk drivers promptly to law enforcement by pulling over and
dialing 911.
• Ensure that all passengers in your vehicle buckle up. It’s not only the law but also
a crucial defense against impaired drivers.
The traffic safety enforcement effort, including the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,”
“Drive High Get a DUI,” and “Click It or Ticket” programs, is made possible through
federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
These efforts are complemented by IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign, which
emphasizes the serious consequences of impaired driving and other unsafe driving
behaviors.
