2007 Press Release:
Des Plaines Police Department Takes First Place
For immediate release
July 6, 2007
According to Des Plaines Police Commander Tim Veit of the Des
Plaines Police Traffic Unit, the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge
is a state-wide highway safety awards program which recognizes law
enforcement agencies throughout the state for their accomplishments
in promoting traffic safety in their communities. The program,
sponsored in part by the Illinois Department of
Transportation-Division of Traffic Safety, is coordinated by the
Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police. This annual competition is
open to all law enforcement agencies in Illinois.
The competition requires the agencies to report their policies
and procedures covering highway safety, their officer training,
public information & education initiatives, as well as enforcement
and effectiveness measures.
Each agency's application is reviewed by a team of independent
judges. The applications are judged in categories, based on the
number of sworn officers on the department, as well as the type of
agency (municipal police, sheriff department, college police, etc.).
The awards will be presented at the annual Illinois Police Chiefs’
summer conference in Rosemont on August 8th, 2007. "Congratulations
should go out to all the agencies that competed in this program, as
they have all made their communities a safer place to live and
drive," said Assistant Chief Steven Casstevens, IACP Traffic
Committee Chairman and co-director of the program.
