MEDIA RELEASE – Click It or Ticket
Police Department Press Release

Every day we make hundreds of choices. The easiest one should be wearing your seat belt. While it is a fact that seat belts save lives, many still make the choice to not buckle up.
In the Click It or Ticket campaign, while all Kansas traffic laws will be enforced, the primary focus will be on the adult seat belt and child safety laws. During Click It or Ticket, drivers will be met with extra enforcement by our agency. We will be on the lookout for the unrestrained drivers, passengers, and children traveling our roads.
According to Police Chief Brent Narges, “Your seat belt could be what saves you and those riding with you. Insist that everyone in the vehicle is retrained on every trip.”
“I also want people to know that in the interest of saving lives, The Pittsburg Police Department is committed to ticketing and educating the violators of adult seat belt and child safety laws, as well as other traffic infractions because we want you to be as safe as possible on your travels.”
Anyone having questions related to this initiative can direct their inquiries to the following personnel:
