FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oak Brook Police Cracking Down on Drunk Drivers
This Holiday Season
Oak Brook, IL— December 2014. From December 19 through January 4 of the New Year, the Oak
Brook Police Department will be out in force as part of the annual Illinois “Drive Sober or Get Pulled
Over” crackdown on drunk drivers. The statewide crackdown will include high-visibility alcohol and belt
enforcement.
Oak Brook Police Officers will be aggressively looking for drunk drivers during the crackdown.
In addition, front and back seat belt law violators will be ticketed.
Data shows the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to the increased number of drunk
drivers on the roads. Being arrested for driving drunk brings a wide range of negative
consequences, including possible jail time, loss of driver’s licenses, and steep financial
consequences such as higher insurance rates, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the
potential loss of job.
The Oak Brook Police Department wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
Remember to buckle up, every trip, every time and designate a sober driver.
