The Romeoville Police Department will be conducting a roadside safety check on May 26, 2017. Chief of Police, Mark Turvey, advised that safety checks are being conducted to promote the safety and well-being of the motoring public, and to provide a deterrent for those who might violate laws and ordinances pertaining to the safe operation of a motor vehicle. The safety checks will be used to detect persons who are operating a motor vehicle with defective equipment, without a valid driver’s license or permit, without proof of insurance, not in compliance with occupant protection laws, or while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

Plans have been established to conduct the checks at locations and during those hours which will provide the maximum opportunity for the detection and apprehension of motorists who drive under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
