Officer Horrie says he will ramp up enforcement of ATV/UTV, unlicensed driving and IL Route 6 violations
Summary
Police Officer Horrie, returning from medical leave, told trustees he will increase enforcement of ATV/UTV use on village streets without stickers, unlicensed driving and vehicles using Illinois Route 6; trustees heard this during board reports Oct. 7.
Officer Horrie, reporting during board reports at the Village of Sheffield’s Oct. 7 meeting, said he has returned from medical leave and intends to increase enforcement focused on off‑road vehicles and unlicensed drivers. "He plans to crack down on ATV/UTV’s on the street without a current years sticker, driving without a valid driver’s license and driving down IL Rt 6, illegal under state statute, as well as Village ordinance and identifying current ordinance violations of Sheffield properties," the packet summary states.
Trustees did not take formal action on enforcement at the meeting, but Horrie’s remarks outline the department’s near‑term priorities for code and traffic enforcement. The public works superintendent later noted excess rock from a street project is being stockpiled for reuse, a separate operational item raised during the same board‑report period. The board did not vote on additional policing resources or specific enforcement procedures at this meeting.
