Click It or Ticket campaign to continue until June 1

As Memorial Day approaches—one of the busiest travel holidays in the country—the Arkansas City Police Department is reminding all drivers and passengers to buckle up.

“Your seat belt could be what saves you and those riding with you. Insist that everyone in the vehicle is restrained before you start,” said Arkansas City Police Chief Jim Holloway.

As part of the national Click It or Ticket campaign, local officers will be stepping up enforcement efforts beginning May 18 through June 1, with a focus on identifying unrestrained drivers, passengers, and children.

“In the interest of saving lives, the Arkansas City Police Department is committed to ticketing and educating violators of seat belt and child safety laws—as well as other traffic infractions—because we want everyone to be as safe as possible on their travels,” added Chief Holloway.
