Will County Sheriff's Office Conducts Labor Day Traffic Campaign

WILL COUNTY, IL — The Will County Sheriff's Office will conduct a Labor Day traffic safety campaign, starting Aug. 16 and ending Sept. 3. The department said it is partnering with Illinois State and local law enforcement agencies in an effort to stop drunk, unbuckled and distracted drivers.

"Our goal is to help ensure that our community’s residents and visitors make it home safely after the party ends," Traffic Sergeant Kyle Lakomiak said in a release. "We will be out in force to keep impaired drivers off the roads. If you will be celebrating, we urge you to plan for a sober ride home. It could be a matter of life and death."

The "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign is funded by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
