I.D.O.T Division of Traffic Safety
Recognizes the Justice Police Department

The Justice Police Department participated in the Fourth Annual Seat Belt Incentive Program for productivity from May 1- May 31, 2010. This program was administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety (DTS). The goal of the program is to save lives and prevent severe injuries on Illinois highways and achieve a higher percentage of safety belt compliance rate through aggressive safety belt enforcement. This is a statewide program and hundreds of agencies participated.

DTS awarded equipment grants to agencies based on the number of citations issued, on a department per capita basis. The top award was a $24,500 grant, for the purchase of a new patrol car. Additionally, there were 3 awards of $10,000, 6 awards of $5,000, 9 awards of $2,600, 9 awards of $2,000 and 15 awards of $1,000.

I am happy to announce that for the second consecutive year, the Justice Police Department was selected as the overall winner out of 200 or more participating agencies!
Our department will soon receive the $24,500 grant for the purchase of a new patrol car.


In addition, the officers issued over 1400 citations for failure to wear seatbelts during this campaign. We have collected $27,200.00 in fines and there is an additional $16,200.00 that is currently outstanding.

Deputy Chief Kraig McDermott of the Justice Police Department administered the program locally and the entire patrol division participated. I would like to thank each officer for their dedication and hard work, you all should be proud of what was accomplished! I would also like to thank the members of our Communications Center. They had the task of entering each violation into the computer database, which at times was overwhelming. Thanks again, I am proud to lead such a great group of professionals!

 911 Seniors Phone Program

During the regular meeting of the Justice Seniors on Tuesday August 28, 2007 12:30pm at the Village Hall's all purpose room, there was a special presentation by the Cook County Sheriff's office of the "911 Seniors Phone Program". This program provides, free of charge, a cell phone that only dials 911. These phones when carried by seniors will provide emergency help at any time. This is extremely helpful to seniors that live alone or have to be alone for any amount of time. If an emergency situation of any nature should arise they will be able to call for help.

If you know of a senior that could benefit from this program, please let them know and or assist them in participating in this program. Their lives may depend on it!

This program save lives!
These phones have been donated. If you have an old cell phone you can drop it off at the Village Clerk's office. There is a drop box for cell phones at the counter.
Your involvement in this program makes it work for all. Please help in any way you can.
Donate a cell phone, notify or assist a senior in being a part of this program.

Be a part of your community!
