SALINE CO., Ill. - Illinois State Police District 19 Commander Captain Cory Ristvedt has announced the results of an Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrol in Saline County during February.
These ACE patrols allowed the ISP to focus on preventing, detecting and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol or drugs.
Below are the stats.
Alcohol and drug impairment is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. There is one alcohol-related traffic fatality every 53 minutes in the United States. The ACE program allows officers to work even harder at removing dangerous DUI offenders from the road. This project is funded through the Illinois Department Transportation.
