EMPHASIS: Troop A To Participate In The National Click It Or Ticket Campaign
Captain Robert L. Powell, commanding officer of Troop A, Lee’s Summit, announces that on February 24, 2012, troopers will be conducting a “Click It Or Ticket” enforcement campaign throughout the 13 counties in West Central Missouri which encompass Troop A.
The Patrol will continue its zero tolerance policy for seat belt use throughout this operation to raise seat belt awareness and compliance. The enforcement operation is part of a national campaign, in conjunction with the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety and other law enforcement agencies, to aggressively pursue safety belt enforcement.
“Your best defense against unsafe drivers is utilizing the seat belt and ensuring children are properly secured in an approved child restraint or booster seat. The safety of the citizens traveling on Missouri’s highways is our priority. So, take the time and make it click. It’s the law,” stated Captain Powell.
