Hinsdale Police Increase Patrols for St. Patrick's Day Holiday

The Hinsdale Police Department will be conducting special patrols during the St. Patrick’s Day Holiday period looking for and cracking down on impaired drivers.

The police department will be staffing additional officers to conduct DUI enforcement during the time period of March 11 to March 20, specifically for the purpose of apprehending drunk drivers. Officers are supporting a zero-tolerance practice in removing impaired motorists from the roadway. 

The police department has again received a state grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation to participate in this enforcement effort.  Grant funding allows the police department to assign additional officers for dedicated enforcement to seatbelt violations, resulting in much more aggressive enforcement measures for these violations.
