Two West Chicago Police Department officers were recognized by the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists (AAIM) for their efforts to keep impaired drivers off local roadways.
During the November 2 City Council meeting, Officer William Chapman received recognition for reaching the 300 DUI arrest milestone, with 394 career DUI arrests. K9 Officer Justin Rigler was recognized for reaching the 100 DUI arrest milestone, with 105 career DUI arrests.
The awards were presented by Ari Briskman, Deputy Director of AAIM, as part of the organization's DUI Pin Award Program. During the presentation, Briskman noted that DUI enforcement is a challenging and often thankless responsibility, with Illinois officers averaging approximately one DUI arrest per year. The program recognizes officers who help make roadways safer by removing impaired drivers.
The City congratulates Officers Chapman and Rigler on these accomplishments and thanks them for their continued dedication to public safety.
