You’ll probably see more people being pulled over by local law officers in Anderson County in the next couple weeks. The Annual Click-It or Ticket Campaign, will step up seat belt enforcement on Anderson County’s streets and highways in the days approaching the Memorial Day Holiday, in a move to improve safety during the Summer Holiday seasons kick off.
Anderson County Sheriff, Vern Valentine, says the State’s Annual Click-It of Ticket Campaign would be a combined effort of Garnett Police Officers and County Deputies and that the drivers of vehicles had far more influence on their passengers seatbelt use than they might think. Valentine points out that if you put on your seat belt, your front seat passengers will likely do the same 98% of the time. The campaign period runs from Friday through May 31st. Travelers can expect increased police presence on city and county roads with emphasis on seat belt enforcement, as officers join some 180 other law enforcement agencies in the state in the annual campaign.
