Keep Lombard Students Safe as the 2023-2024 School Year Begins


As students returned to school this week, drivers are reminded to pay attention in school zones and follow the rules of the road, particularly around school buses.


Did you know Illinois Law requires drivers to come to a complete stop when a school bus is loading or unloading students, including on private property like a parking lot? The only exception is if both vehicles are on a 4(+) lane roadway and the bus is stopped on the opposite side of the road from the driver.

Labor Day Campaign for Safe and Sober Driving 


As we near the end of summer and the busy Labor Day weekend, the Lombard Police Department is partnering with the Illinois State Police and law enforcement across the state to stop impaired driving and help save lives. 


“Our first priority is to keep people safe, so we’re asking everyone to plan ahead for a sober ride home if they’ll be drinking or using another impairing substance,” said Sergeant Tom Balsitis. 


The high-visibility “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement campaign runs from Aug. 18 through the early-morning hours of Sept. 5. During this period, law enforcement will be stepping up efforts focused on. During this period, motorists can expect to see roadside safety checks, more officers on the road and increased messaging about the dangers of impaired driving.
