The Illinois State Police (ISP), District 18, will conduct a Roadside Safety Check (RSC) in Macoupin County during the month of April, according to District 18 Commander Timothy Tyler.

The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois. Officers working this detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, or Driving Under the Influence (DUI).
