The Taylorville Police Department (TPD) is reminding residents to prioritize safety as the Independence Day holiday approaches.

TPD will be participating in an Independence Day traffic safety campaign from June 19 through July 6. During that time, residents may notice an increased police presence throughout the community as officers focus on traffic enforcement and other safety concerns.

As part of the campaign, the Taylorville Police Department says officers will also be addressing concerns and complaints regarding golf cart compliance. Golf cart owners and operators are encouraged to make sure their carts are properly registered, equipped, and operated in accordance with local ordinances.

TPD says these safety campaigns are funded through grants, and officials want to remain transparent with the community by keeping residents informed about enforcement efforts. The Taylorville Police Department and its officers are encouraging everyone to enjoy the holiday with family and friends while making responsible choices to help keep the community safe.

The Taylorville Police Department thanks residents for their cooperation and continued support, and wishes everyone a safe and happy Independence Day. More information on TPD can be found at taylorville.net/police-dept.
