Berwick police will focus on seat belt enforcement

The Berwick Police Department is participating in the 2021 "Click It or Ticket" Campaign, a high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort.
The department wants to remind motorists to wear seat belts on every trip, day and night.
The campaign will begin Monday and will continue to run till June 6.
Officers will be out in force ticketing motorists who are not wearing their seat belts as well as those in violation of other traffic laws.
Funding for off-duty police personnel will be paid from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, as part of the “Click It or Ticket” Campaign.
Seat belts are the single most effective safety feature ever invented and have helped save thousands of lives.
Sadly, one in five Americans fail to regularly wear a seat belt when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
More than 100 Louisiana law enforcement agencies are participating in the "Click It or Ticket"
Campaign.
By maintaining "Click It or Ticket" high visibility enforcement and awareness, the department will continue to reduce seat belt fatalities on Louisiana's roads.
The Berwick Police Department urged drivers to remember to buckle up day and night or you will get a ticket.
