GALENA, Ill. — November 8, 2026 — The Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office issued 12 speeding citations during a fall traffic enforcement campaign that ran from October 23 through November 2, 2026, the office announced in a press release dated November 4, 2026.
The campaign was part of statewide Illinois efforts to remove impaired drivers from the road and increase seatbelt use, under the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Drive High. Get a DUI” initiatives. The Halloween-period crackdown focused on impaired driving and seatbelt compliance.
The release did not state how many DUI arrests or seatbelt citations resulted from the campaign, if any — only the 12 speeding citations were reported.
The campaign was funded through federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The release lists Chief Deputy Kirk A. Raab as the contact for the Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office in Galena, Illinois.
