The Sherwood Police Department will be teaming up with law enforcement agencies nationwide in the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign. This initiative will run through November 29.
According to NHTSA, in 2018, there were 9,778 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes across the United States. In that same year, 56 percent of passenger vehicle occupants were killed at night between the hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. That's why one focus of the campaign is night time enforcement. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a No-Excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night.
