EMPHASIS: Click It Or Ticket Campaign Scheduled



Captain George E. Ridens, commanding officer of Troop E, announces that sometime during the period of May 19, 2008 through June 1, 2008, Troop E officers will be conducting a “Click It Or Ticket” enforcement campaign in Scott and Stoddard counties. The “Click It Or Ticket” campaign is a national effort to increase seat belt and child restraint use.
“If we stop you for a traffic offense, and you are not buckled up correctly, you will receive a ticket. No exceptions. No excuses. People need to understand that every time they get into a vehicle, as a driver or passenger, there is a chance of being involved in a traffic crash. It only takes three seconds to fasten your seat belt, the same amount of time for a crash to occur,” stated Captain Ridens.
