From May 24 through June 6, the Garland Police Department participated in the statewide added enforcement for the Click It or Ticket campaign. The additional enforcement resulted in the following:
- 203 traffic stops
- 95 seat belt violations
- 4 child safety seat violations
- 166 other violations
- 20 warnings
- 4 arrests
Click It or Ticket enforcement is an effort to remind Texans to buckle up every time they get in a vehicle. Buckling up not only protects motorists against expensive citations, it also saves lives.
Statistics continue to show that when vehicle passengers are properly seat belted, injuries are less severe and death is less likely during a vehicle crash.
