Ottawa Police have a message for all drivers… wear your seat belt or get a ticket. The annual “Click-It-or-Ticket” campaign will start on Sunday and run through June 4th. You can expect to see an increased police presence on the roads as Ottawa joins 160 other law enforcement agencies in vigorously enforcing the Kansas Occupant Restraint and other safety laws. Ottawa Police Chief, Adam Weingartner, says the goal is to educate the public, not punish people:
He adds that children under the age of four must be correctly secured in an approved child safety seat. Children four through seven must be securely belted into an approved booster seat. If stopped, it will be a inconvenience for you. To avoid the inconvenience, buckle up, every trip, every time.
