Chicago police plan DUI patrols

Chronicle Media — September 5, 2024

The Chicago Police Department will be conducting DUI Saturation Patrols in two areas of the city this weekend.

Police will be in the 10th (Ogden) District from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday and in the 8th (Chicago Lawn) District from 6 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday.

The purpose of the program is to saturate a designated area with roving police officers who  continually monitor vehicular traffic for signs of impaired driving. Patrols also place an emphasis on speed, alcohol-related and safety belt violations. Police vehicles equipped for speed detection are deployed to apprehend violators.
In addition, the Breath Alcohol Testing Mobile Unit may also be deployed to allow officers to expedite the process of charging a person with driving under the influence.
