EMPHASIS: Troop B Announces "Click It Or Ticket" Enforcement Effort


Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces a "Click It Or Ticket" enforcement operation on February 24, 2012. Members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol will be conducting the "Click It Or Ticket" campaign in all 16 counties in Troop B.
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.
"Failure to wear your safety belt can be a deadly mistake," stated Captain Wilt. "It only takes three seconds to buckle up. Please obey the law and make sure everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained either with a seat belt or a child restraint seat."
