EMPHASIS: Troop C Officers To Participate In "Click It Or Ticket" Campaign


Captain Ronald S. Johnson, commanding officer of Troop C, Weldon Spring, announces that the Patrol will once again participate with the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Division of Highway Safety by joining other law enforcement agencies’ efforts beginning May 19 through June 1, 2014, for the “Click It or Ticket” mobilization. The primary goal is to reduce the number of injury and fatal crashes, which will be accomplished through the aggressive enforcement of traffic laws to include zero tolerance policy to ensure seat belt compliance and the utilization of child restraint systems.

“Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticket enforcement,” said Captain Johnson. “We’ll be out there to remind you seat belts can – and do – save lives.” Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For information on Missouri seat belt usage, visit www.saveMOlives.com.

In support of "The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths," the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
