Algonquin Police Department awarded IDOT traffic enforcement grant
The Algonquin Police Department is proud to announce it has been awarded a federal fiscal year 2026 Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program grant. Funded by federal highway safety dollars through the Illinois Department of Transportation, the grant will support increased traffic safety enforcement efforts aimed at saving lives and reducing crashes.
“We are grateful for this grant, which allows us to step up enforcement of impaired driving, seat belt, speeding, and other traffic safety laws under the banners of ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,’ ‘Click It or Ticket’ and ‘Drive High. Get a DUI,’” said Sgt. Jason Burzynski. “Our top priority is the safety of everyone on our roadways, and we will continue holding those who break the law accountable.”
The STEP grant year runs from Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026. During this time, the Algonquin Police Department will conduct additional enforcement operations, particularly during high-risk periods. These operations will focus on dangerous driving behaviors, including speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, failure to yield, disobeying traffic signals, and seat belt violations.
Key statewide campaigns such as “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” will be emphasized during some of the deadliest times of the year to raise awareness and encourage safer driving habits. These high-visibility efforts are part of our ongoing mission to keep Illinois roads safe for all.
