Roadside Safety Checks Continue in West Chicago
West Chicago, Illinois: September 1, 2009 - A Roadside Safety Check will be conducted by the West Chicago Police Department and the DuPage County Sheriff’s Department during the month of September 2009. Safety checks are conducted to promote the safety and well being of the motoring public and to provide a deterrent for those who might violate the Illinois Vehicle Code or West Chicago City Ordinances.

The safety check will be used to detect persons who are operating a motor vehicle with defective equipment, have no valid driver’s license or permit, no proof of insurance or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Plans have been established to conduct the check during hours which will provide the maximum opportunity for detection and apprehension of motorists who drive under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
