The Traffic Division of the Chicago Police Department conducted a Saturation Patrol in the 009th District on 28 April 2001. The purpose of the program is to saturate a pre-designated area with roving police officers who continually monitor vehicular traffic for signs of impaired driving.
Patrols also place emphasis on speeding, safety belt and alcohol-related violations.
Police vehicles equipped for speed detection are deployed to apprehend speeding violators. The Saturation Patrols are funded by a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. All rights reserve.
