BLOOMINGTON – State Police have released the result of the Memorial Day weekend enforcement campaign.
Between May 25-28, state troopers issued 5,924 traffic citations, as well as 5,205 written warnings.
Troopers also made 109 DUI arrests, wrote 815 seatbelt citations, and helped 1,304 motorists who were stranded on the road.
State Police Director Leo Schmitz expressed gratitude to the law enforcement officers who worked to make the roads safer on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
“I am very proud of the hard work displayed by the men and women of the State Police,” Schmitz explained. “I am confident their enforcement efforts resulted in lives being saved.”
State Police remind motorists to avoid speeding, driving under the influence, failing to wear a seatbelt, and distracted driving with summer right around the corner.
