Keep Our Streets Safe: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over! 

The Lombard Police Department will have extra patrols on the road through December 2, seeking out impaired drivers and seat belt violators.  Lombard is partnering with the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement across Illinois for the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Thanksgiving campaign. 

If you plan on drinking this holiday weekend, plan on a sober ride home!

These are amazing kids and we’re proud to be part of this program.”
