LITCHFIELD– Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Captain Timothy Tyler, announces the results of Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrols in District 18 during the month of March. 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.

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.
