    AAIM's Drunkbuster Program
    .
    AAIM (Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists) has a program, which they title Drunkbusters. The award winning program strives to make Illinois highways safer by aiding law enforcement in apprehending intoxicated drivers through the use of your cell phone.

    This is how it works. See a drunk driver, call 911 on your cell phone, give the information to the dispatcher including your name, etc. The arresting officer needs to fill out a Drunkbuster form and submit it to AAIM. In return AAIM sends you $100.

    Please visit AAIM's web site at www.aaim1.org for the complete rules and a downloadable report form.

    Dumb Criminal Acts
    .
    A man was caught on a surveillance tape stealing gasoline from a farmer's tank. On the tape, he can be seen becoming increasingly frustrated at his inability to open the lock on the tank. To get at the supply of fuel, he used a cutting torch to burn his way into the tank. Although he managed to avoid blowing himself up, he and his license plate were caught on tape.
    Safety Saturday
    .
    Come rain or shine DuPage County Sheriff Zaruba will host the eighth annual "Safety Saturday" fair on September 25, 2004 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton.

    This event has been organized in an effort to increase public awareness about safety and crime prevention.
