Today, the Oglesby Police Department remembers and honors all those whose lives were taken on September 11, 2001.

We remember the innocent men, women, and children who never made it home to their families. We remember the first responders who courageously entered the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the crash site in Pennsylvania to help others—many making the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

We honor the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs, and other first responders who answered the call without hesitation. Their courage and selflessness will forever be a part of our nation's history.

Most importantly, we remember the thousands of lives lost and the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

From those who served to those they served, every life mattered, every sacrifice matters, and every name deserves to be remembered.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their memory.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

The Oglesby Police Department joins statewide Labor Day traffic safety effort focused on impaired, distracted and unsafe driving.

Oglesby, IL – The Oglesby Police Department is proud to be one of over 200 law enforcement agencies across Illinois participating in the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns this Labor Day. From Aug. 14 through the early morning hours of Sept. 8, officers will be out in force, focused on stopping impaired driving, enforcing seat belt laws and reducing other dangerous driving behaviors.

“Driving under the influence — whether it’s alcohol, cannabis or any other impairing drug — is not just risky, it’s illegal,” said Deputy Chief Evan Duttlinger. “We’ll be patrolling with zero tolerance for impaired driving, because our goal is to protect the people of Oglesby.”

Officers will also be enforcing seat belt laws as part of the “Click It or Ticket” initiative. Buckling up is the most effective way to prevent serious injury or death in a crash. Everyone in the vehicle — front seat or back — should be properly buckled, every trip.

In addition to alcohol, officers will be on the lookout for drivers impaired by cannabis and other drugs. Messages like “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” are part of a statewide education and enforcement effort aimed at saving lives.

“We want our community to enjoy the holiday weekend safely and responsibly,” said Deputy Chief Duttlinger. “Plan ahead, use a designated driver, and never get behind the wheel impaired. These decisions save lives.”

This local effort is part of a larger statewide campaign supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation, which administers the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns with federal highway safety funds. The initiative is reinforced by IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign running across radio, TV and digital platforms to highlight the deadly consequences of impaired driving.

‘Speeding Catches Up With You’

Oglesby, IL – The Oglesby Police Department today announced it is partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local law enforcement agencies to step up traffic safety efforts across the state to reduce speeding. Throughout the month of July, motorists can expect increased patrols looking for speeding, as well as other traffic violations.

"Over the past few years, we have seen an increase in careless and risky driving. No matter how safe a driver you think you may be, speeding is dangerous," said Deputy Chief Evan Duttlinger. "Speed limits aren’t a suggestion – they are the law."

Speeding creates unnecessary risks for all motorists, reducing the driver’s ability to steer safely around other vehicles, hazardous objects or unexpected curves.

During the speed limit enforcement campaign, officers will intensify enforcement of posted speed limits.

Drivers can expect a ticket from the Oglesby Police Department if they are spotted speeding. Stepped-up patrols will be seen throughout the City of Oglesby and the state July 7-31.

The speed enforcement effort is part of the "Speeding Catches Up with You" campaign and is made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by IDOT. It also supports IDOT’s broader "It’s Not a Game" media campaign.
