There were 80 traffic seatbelt citations from Click It or Ticket campaign
Sumner Newscow report — During the recent Click It or Ticket Campaign, the Wellington Police conducted overtime saturation patrols to aggressively enforce Kansas occupant restraint, texting, impaired driving, and other traffic laws. During the campaign, officers wrote 80 safety belt citations, four driver’s license violations, one no insurance violation, two illegal registration and made one arrest.
According to Wellington Police Chief Tracy A. Heath:
“We are here to enforce Kansas Traffic Laws and ultimately to decrease unsafe driving behavior. If you were stopped, we hope you learned from the experience. If so, we have made the roads a little safer for you and those you share the road with. We will continue to do that because, while the 2021 Click It or Ticket campaign may be over, traffic enforcement never is.”
This Click It or Ticket enforcement was supported by a grant with the Kansas Department of Transportation. In all, WPD officers worked 32.5 hours of overtime and/or straight time during this campaign.
