The Kewanee Police Department participated in statewide traffic safety campaigns during the holiday season, dedicating eight hours to patrols aimed at keeping roads safer. Officers conducted seven traffic stops, leading to one arrest for driving under the influence. Additional enforcement actions included citations for not wearing a seatbelt, improper child restraints, and four for speeding. Authorities hope these targeted efforts serve as a reminder of the importance of traffic laws, especially during busy travel periods. The department’s participation is part of a broader initiative to reduce accidents and keep the community safe throughout the year.
