The Kewanee Police Department’s recent traffic safety campaign over Labor Day weekend led to a significant enforcement effort. Officers issued 57 seat belt citations and 17 speeding citations, along with several tickets related to child restraint violations, cell phone use while driving, and other infractions. This campaign was part of a broader statewide initiative focused on promoting roadway safety and was funded in part by federal highway safety programs. Authorities say these measures aim to reduce accidents and encourage safer driving habits across the community, reflecting ongoing efforts to prioritize public safety on local roads.
