H.C.S.O. Click It Or Ticket

11/16/2020

Hempstead County, Arkansas - As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and more drivers hit the roads Hempstead County Sheriff's Office is reminding all drivers of the importance of seat belt use. This annual campaign is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's national Click It or Ticket high-visibility enforcement effort that runs from November 16-29, 2020. Aimed at enforcing seat belt use to help keep people safe, the national seat belt campaign runs concurrent with this busy travel season.

 

"During the Click It or Ticket campaign, we'll be working with our fellow law enforcement officers across local and state lines to ensure the seat belt safety message gets out to all drivers and passengers," said Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton "By far, buckling up is the simplest thing you can do to limit injury or save your life during a crash. We see the results of not wearing a seat belt all the time. We see the loss of life and devastating injuries that could've been prevented with the simple click of a seat belt. That's why buckling up is more than just a good idea - it ' s the law."
