The Mascoutah Police Department issued the following citations during the recent Thanksgiving enforcement effort:
- 2 for Improper Use of Electronic Communication Device
- 1 for Operating Uninsured Vehicle
- 9 for Speeding
- 4 Written Warnings
Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this effort to save lives by getting impaired drivers off the roads and more people buckled up. The enforcement campaign took place from November 19th through November 29th.
During the mobilization, extra emphasis was placed on enforcement during late-night hours, when statistics show the most unbuckled and impaired driving fatalities occur.
The Thanksgiving enforcement effort was made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
