Thanks to a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation, Elmhurst police will again be stepping up enforcement of DUI and seat belt laws.

The campaign started Monday, Nov. 18, and will continue through Sunday, Dec. 1. The grant allows extra officers to be out on patrol looking for impaired drivers and seat belt violations. The extra officers will primarily be on the roads from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., which are the most dangerous times on Illinois roads.

Extra emphasis will be placed on Thanksgiving weekend, specifically the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving.
