The Columbia Police Department Step Up Seat Belt Enforcement On The "Click It or Ticket" Statewide Campaign

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

THE COLUMBIA POLICE DEPARTMENT STEP UP SEAT BELT ENFORCEMENT ON THE "CLICK IT OR TICKET" STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN

The Columbia Police Department will be joining efforts with statewide law enforcement November 24, 2014 for an aggressive "Click It or Ticket" mobilization to get more motorists to buckle up and save more lives.

Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, nearly one in four Missouri motorists are still not making it click. In 2013, 62% of individuals killed in the crashes in Missouri were unrestrained.  Officers will be out in force on Monday to remind motorist seat belts can and do save lives.

Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For information on Missouri seatbelt usage, visit www.saveMOlives.com.
