Lisle Police Begin Seat Belt Crackdown

Lisle police officers will increase seat belt patrols from May 10-27.

Lisle police this month join hundreds of other police departments in cracking down on those who do not buckle up. The 2013 Click It or Ticket campaign kicks off May 10 in Illinois and continues through May 27. Lisle police and Illinois State Police are just two of the 500-plus local law enforcement agencies across the state hoping to save more lives by strongly enforcing seat belt laws. Provisional numbers show that there were six fatalities and almost 600 injuries on Illinois roadways during the 2012 Memorial Day weekend. Three of those fatalities were alcohol-related. Don't forget: wearing your seat belt is your best defense against an impaired driver. In all, 52 percent of the 21,253 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2011 were not …

Don't Lisle employees have more important things to do right now? Seatbelts vs. hundreds of people with flood damage. Hum. Maybe police officers would be better put to use with cleanup efforts.   more ›

Lisle Police Set for St. Paddy's Weekend Crackdown

The Lisle Police Department urges motorists to safely celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

The Lisle Police Department announced that it will conduct special patrols this St. Patrick’s Day weekend to crack down on drunk drivers. The patrols begin March 14 and run through March 17. Unbuckled motorists also will be ticketed. "If you plan on drinking alcohol, designate a sober driver before the party begins," Watch Commander Ron Wilke said. "Be responsible or risk a DUI.

Police Department To Hire Two More Officers

The Lisle Village Board approved a request presented by Police Chief James Kosatka to hire two additional patrol officers as well as two part-time community service officers.

Chief Kosatka said he hopes to have two new police officers hired by fall so they can get into the police training academy in October. Two part-time community service officers (CSO's) will be trained and each will work about 20 hours a week. Kosatka said a decision was made last year after he joined the force to buy out the contracts of three police officers to better manage the department. But after they left, three other officers left for various reasons, putting the total count of officers to 26, below the legal number established in a village ordinance. The ordinance stipulates the police department must have at least 28 full-time officers and not more than 35. "We've been trying to be as frugal as possible trying to redistribute the …
