Click It Or Ticket
The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office will be joining other law enforcement agencies across the state in efforts to ensure the safety of all motorist by enforcing seatbelt and other traffic laws as part of the 2020 Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign, which will run from May 18th through May 31st.
Although travel has certainly changed somewhat over the past couple of months, the price of fuel is currently low, many folks are eager to travel and historically, the Memorial Day Holiday weekend is a time of increased traffic on our roadways," states Sheriff Edwards. "Our primary objective with this or any other traffic enforcement campaign is to encourage residents to voluntarily comply with laws in an effort to keep them, their passengers, other motorists and pedestrians safe," concludes Sheriff Edwards.
According to the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, who supports Click It or Ticket through grant funding, front seat passengers are 98% more likely to buckle up if the driver does.
