ISP District 20 reveals OREP results
PITTSFIELD – Illinois State Police (ISP) District 20 Commander, Captain Jody Huffman, announces the results of Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) held in Adams County on August 29, September 2, and September 6.
These OREPs provided extra patrol coverage for the ISP so officers could focus on saving lives by making sure all vehicle occupants were buckled up.

Most motorists know safety belts save lives, but some ignore their safety and that of their families by neglecting to use safety belts and child restraint devices. These patrols reinforce the occupant protection message by focusing on those who ignore the law. Lives can be saved if people simply “buckle up!” This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
