Orland Park, IL (May 7, 2026) – The Orland Park Police Department announced it issued 169 citations for distracted driving violations, made four arrests and issued 103 additional traffic citations for other violations during April's Distracted Driving Awareness Month enforcement campaign.

"Distracted driving remains a serious problem in Orland Park, and one moment of inattention can change lives forever," said Chief of Police Eric Rossi. "High-visibility enforcement is one way we remind drivers that safe driving requires their full attention. April may be over, but our message is not. The Village will continue enforcing distracted driving laws and urging motorists to put the phone away whenever they get behind the wheel."

Orland Park Police Department joined forces with the Illinois State Police, local law enforcement and highway safety partners for this enforcement effort.

The Illinois distracted driving campaign was funded with federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
