The Chicago Police Department will be conducting a DUI Saturation Patrol in the 14th (Shakespeare) District this weekend. The DUI Saturation Patrol will take place Saturday, January 14, 2023 from 7 p.m. to Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 3 a.m.
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 speed detection are deployed to apprehend speeding violators.

The mobile unit also allows for Individual Recognizance Bonds (I-Bonds) to be issued at the site of the DUI Saturation Patrol.
