The Chicago Police Department will conduct a DUI Strike Force Patrol in the Grand
Central (025th) District beginning at 7:00 p.m., Friday, November 13, 2009 and ending at 3:00
a.m. on Saturday, November 14, 2009.

The purpose of this program is to saturate a pre-designated area with roving police
officers that continually monitor vehicular traffic for signs of impaired driving. Patrols also place
emphasis on speed, alcohol-related and safety belt violations. Police vehicles equipped for

officers to expedite the process of charging a person with Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
prior to transporting an alleged into the nearest lockup for bonding. The mobile unit also allows
for Individual Recognizance Bonds (I-Bonds) to be issued at the site of the DUI Strike Force
Patrol.
