The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department announced Tuesday its participation in the national and statewide 2015 Click It or Ticket enforcement mobilization occurring May 15-31, 2015. Officers will join more than 250 state and local law enforcement agencies, and thousands more across the country, to conduct high-visibility patrols encouraging drivers and passengers to buckle up.
Click It or Ticket is an annual enforcement effort supported by federal funding allocated to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department from the Traffic Safety division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI). Officers will work overtime to conduct seat belt patrols around the clock. According to ICJI, in 2014, there were 748 fatalities on Indiana roadways. Of those fatalities, nearly one-third (29 percent) were unrestrained.
Indiana law enforcement agencies have been actively involved in the Click It or Ticket campaign for over 20 years.
