Record number of law enforcement agencies join Click It or Ticket

The following is a Press Release:

Nation’s top highway safety official encourages seat belt compliance

Louisiana and federal traffic safety officials announced today that 127 law enforcement agencies across the state are participating in this year’s Click It or Ticket enforcement and awareness campaign. The May 21 to June 3 seat belt enforcement effort will be the largest of its kind ever conducted in Louisiana.

The participating law enforcement agencies received grants from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission to conduct extra patrols during the Click It or Ticket campaign. The Commission’s grants pay for overtime to deputies, police officers and State Police troopers who conduct special patrols and checkpoints focused on seat belt usage, drunk driving and other violations. The focus will be on seat belt law compliance during Click It or Ticket.

David L. Strickland, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, joined Louisiana safety officials in Baton Rouge to announce details of the May 21 to June 3 campaign. The annual Click It or Ticket campaigns coincide with Memorial Day, which, in some years, ranks among the deadliest holidays. According to preliminary data, 15 people were killed in Memorial Day holiday crashes in 2011– more than during any other holiday in Louisiana that year.
