MEDIA RELEASE
***For Immediate Release***

Click It or Ticket Campaign

The Minocqua Police Department to mobilize for Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement from May 20 to June 2

The Minocqua Police Department will join hundreds of law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement mobilization from May 20 to June 2.
The Minocqua Police Department will be on the lookout day and night for unbuckled motorists. If you're not wearing a safety belt, officers may stop your vehicle and you may receive a ticket. During the Click It or Ticket mobilization and throughout the year, the Minocqua Police Department enforces Wisconsin's mandatory safety belt law to motivate motorists to buckle up every time they drive or ride in a vehicle. Tragically, too many people are needlessly injured or killed because they believed a crash would never happen to them so they do not buckle up.
In Wisconsin, approximately one out of five motorists does not buckle up, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. More than half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes in 2011 were not wearing safety belts. In 2012, there were more than 100,000 convictions for failure to fasten a seat belt.
Consistent safety belt use is the most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash or thrown around violently inside it and possibly hitting another person in the vehicle with massive force. The Minocqua Police Department takes safety belt enforcement seriously in an effort to reach the ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.
