“We prioritize traffic safety because every member of our community deserves to get home safely," said Lt. Matt Senci. "This extra enforcement serves as a reminder to drivers to stay off our devices, stay engaged with our surroundings, and keep our focus on the road.”

The Edwardsville Police Department teamed up with the Illinois State Police, other local law enforcement and highway safety partners for this effort. This effort was conducted in addition to normal enforcement activities by the Edwardsville Police Department.

The Illinois distracted driving campaign is funded with federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
