The Henry County Sheriff’s Office has been awarded a traffic enforcement grant for the 2025 federal fiscal year by the Illinois Department of Transportation. This grant, part of the Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program, will support heightened traffic safety efforts from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, focusing on major causes of crashes like speeding and impaired driving.
“We’re pleased to receive this grant to step up our road safety efforts with the goal of saving lives,” said Sheriff Josh Verscheure. “Our mission is to make travel safer through directed, proactive patrols and to stop, cite and arrest those who choose to violate traffic laws.”
This program will supplement the campaign enforcement dates scheduled during some of the “deadliest times of the year.”
