Kendall County Sheriff’s Office Announces Additional Traffic Enforcement

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office will conduct additional traffic enforcement supported by a federal fiscal year 2027 Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The grant, funded by federal highway safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation, will support enhanced traffic safety enforcement efforts aimed at saving lives and reducing traffic crashes.

“We are grateful for this grant, which helps us put additional deputies on the road to address behaviors that lead to serious crashes,” said Undersheriff Bobby Richardson. “We urge everyone to make safe choices behind the wheel. Our priority is ensuring the safety of everyone who uses our roadways.”

During this enforcement period, deputies will focus on impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield, disobeying traffic signals, and seat belt violations.

The enforcement effort will support Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, Click It or Ticket, and Drive High. Get a DUI campaigns. These high-visibility campaigns combine enforcement and public awareness to encourage safer driving.

The FY27 STEP grant period runs from Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027. Throughout the grant year, the Sheriff’s Office will conduct additional enforcement, including during periods with a higher risk of serious crashes.

Sheriff’s Office wearing pink

You may have noticed members of the Sheriff’s Office wearing pink badges throughout the month of October!

The badges were purchased by members of the Sheriff’s Office, with the proceeds donated to the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing various challenges, with a primary focus on those battling cancer.

Last Thursday, Angie and Matt from Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter stopped by the office, and we were proud to present them with a donation check for $524!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this effort; we are honored to help support such a meaningful cause!
