Holiday cheers, not tears: Drive sober or get pulled over this season
The holiday season is a time for joy, connection and celebration. To help make sure those celebrations don’t end in tragedy, the Glendale Heights Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies across Illinois in a major traffic safety effort.
From Dec. 12 through Jan. 5, our officers will take part in the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High. Get a DUI.” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns. These enforcement efforts are supported by the Illinois Department of Transportation’s statewide outreach media program, “It’s Not a Game,” which reminds motorists that driving is serious business.
“This season, let’s make safety our shared priority,” said Sgt Chris Parsons. “If you plan to drink or use impairing substances, plan ahead for a sober ride home and always wear your seat belt. Driving impaired isn’t just dangerous; it’s unacceptable. We’ll be out in full force, and no excuses will be accepted.”
The Glendale Heights Police Department urges everyone to take the following steps to prevent impaired driving and reduce the severity of crashes:
Plan ahead: Designate a sober driver, use public transportation or arrange for a ride-sharing service.
Check local options: Utilize your community’s sober ride programs.
Report dangers: If you spot an impaired driver, pull over safely and contact the Glendale Heights Police Department.
Be a hero: Stop a friend from driving impaired by taking their keys and helping them get home safely.
Buckle up: It’s your best defense against impaired drivers and one of the simplest ways to save a life.
Slow down and stay focused: Obey the speed limit and avoid distractions such as texting, scrolling or gaming while driving.
This campaign is made possible through federal highway safety funds administered by IDOT and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is part of Illinois’ “It’s Not a Game” statewide media outreach program.

E-Bikes and Scooters Ordinances. Ride Smart, Ride Safe: Rules for Low-Speed Electric & Gas Bicycles in Glendale Heights.
On September 18, 2025, the Glendale Heights Village Board unanimously approved two new ordinances: one regulating E-Bikes and Low-Speed Gas Bikes, and another addressing Electric Scooters and Personal Mobility Devices. These measures were adopted to enhance safety for riders, drivers, and pedestrians, and to help prevent potential accidents in our community. We encourage all residents to review the full ordinances (E-Bikes and Low Speed Gas Bikes Ordinance, Electric Scooters and Personal Mobility Devices Ordinance) or the condensed versions (E-Bikes and Electric Scooters: English or Spanish).
