Although education and Officer Jerry Walczak counseling play an important role, and is considered Officer Marijo Zawilla a part of enforcement, in some cases arrests are inevitable and have a greater impact on sending a message. The arrest also stops the illegal act and gets the violator off the street. As an example of one of these cases is the area of driving while intoxicated or DUI. There are many groups that support DUI enforcement and keep a close watch on the progress in this area. The Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, better known as AAIM, is one of these groups who have taken a proactive stance against DUI. They monitor court cases and legislation as well as productivity of over 700 Illinois police agencies. This year AAIM, along with the Niles Police Department, want to recognize the top four DUI producers in the Village of Niles for the year 2005. They are Officer Foti Markadas, Officer Jerry Mercado, Officer Jerry Walczak, and Officer Marijo Zawilla. These Officers are to be commended for their commitment in making the streets of Niles a safer place to travel.
