“92, 93% of stops we were making were all based on headlights and taillights,” Sheriff Dart has said. “If we get headlights and taillights repaired, our citizens save money and won’t be stopped for these minor violations. My great staff and I are always looking for ways to expand our community service.”

The goal of the program is to help community members in Cook County get their vehicle lights, such as taillights, headlights, and license plate lights, fixed for free.
