NAPERVILLE, IL — Police in Naperville are urging residents to drive sober and have planned to ramp up patrols in the days leading up to Halloween.
“If you’re heading out to a Halloween party, make sure to decide how you’ll get home before the party starts,” Naperville Police Sgt. Derek Zook said in a statement. “Just one drink or hit can impact your ability to drive safely and make responsible decisions. Planning ahead will help keep you – and others – safe."
