The Brookfield Police Department announced on May 28 the results of its Memorial Day 2026 “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaign, which aimed to increase seat belt use and keep roads safe during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
“Thanks to the efforts of our officers, more drivers and passengers were reminded to buckle up, helping to prevent injuries and save lives,” said Lieutenant Nicholas Hahn. “Every citation and safety check reinforces the message that seat belts work.”
During the campaign, officers issued eight seat belt citations, took action on one suspended or revoked license, cited one uninsured motorist, issued thirty-seven speeding citations, and cited two drivers for distracted driving. The department said these actions reflect law enforcement’s commitment to roadway safety and reinforce the message that buckling up saves lives.
The “Click It or Ticket” initiative is funded with federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. For more information on safe driving practices, residents are encouraged to visit ItsNotaGameIllinois.com.
Brookfield operates as a municipal local government focused on delivering civic administration, public works, safety measures such as police services—including traffic enforcement—and community services for residents within Brookfield’s boundaries. The Village coordinates among departments such as Public Works, Code Enforcement, Finance, and Police to supply municipal services like utility billing, code enforcement oversight, and permitting and licensing processes for residents’ needs, according to the official website.
