Click It or Ticket campaign kicks off Wednesday

The ‘Click It or Ticket’ mobilization is a statewide campaign to promote awareness and increase the use of seatbelts and child restraint systems. The
Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in the mobilization through high visibility enforcement and saturation patrol.

On Wednesday, November 27th, from 3:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., a high visibility safety checkpoint will be set up on Hwy 77 just north or Hwy 33.
Vehicles will be selected in a systematic fashion and checked to make sure all the proper documentation is in the vehicle and that all occupants are properly
restrained.

Following the checkpoint, from 8:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m., deputies from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office will continue the mobilization efforts through
saturation patrol. Additional deputies, in marked patrol cars, will monitor traffic on an individual basis watching for traffic law violations.

Overtime for the additional deputies working during the mobilization will be paid through a mini-grant funded by the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
