St. Charles police to be part of ‘Click It or Ticket’ mobilization

The St. Charles Police Department will be joining efforts with statewide law enforcement Feb. 22, for an aggressive “Click It or Ticket” mobilization to get more motorists to buckle up – and save more lives.

Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, nearly one in four Missouri motorists are still not wearing a seatbelt while driving. In 2012, 70 percent of individuals killed in crashes in Missouri were unrestrained.

“Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticketenforcement,” said Chief Randall McKinley.  “We’ll be out there to remind you seat belts can – and do – save lives.”
