Lombard Police Participate in Illinois Blue Envelope Program

The Lombard Police Department is now participating in the Illinois “Blue Envelope” Program, an initiative designed to support positive interactions between law enforcement officers and drivers on the autism spectrum or individuals who may benefit from additional communication considerations during a traffic stop. 

The Blue Envelope Program provides a clearly marked blue envelope for drivers to store important documents such as a driver’s license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. The envelope also includes guidance for drivers and officers to help promote clear, calm communication during a traffic stop.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and the Lombard Police Department is reminding motorists to stay focused behind the wheel. Throughout the month, officers will conduct increased enforcement targeting distracted driving violations as part of a statewide safety campaign.

The Lombard Police Department encourages drivers to take simple steps to prevent distracted driving, including putting your phone away or using hands-free technology, setting your navigation and music before you begin driving, and keeping your full attention on the road at all times.
