CPD To Launch Click It Or Ticket

The Coeur d’Alene Police Department is participating again this year in the National Click it or Ticket campaign aimed at reducing traffic related deaths of unbelted vehicle occupants. The campaign kicks off May 18th and runs through May 31st 2015. Click it or Ticket is an annual enforcement effort supported by federal funding. Officers across the nation will conduct high-visibility patrols encouraging drivers and passengers to buckle up. Statistics show that passenger vehicl e occupants are buckling up more during the day, but not enough at night. This mobilization is created to crackdown on violators 24-7, but a strong enforcement effort is urged between the nighttime hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. due to the significant number of violators and fatal crashes during this time/ Sgt.
