Buffalo Grove Police Department Joins Law Enforcement
in annual Click it or Ticket Crackdown
Targeting Unbelted Motorists

Buffalo Grove, IL -- The Buffalo Grove Police Department is joining more than 12,000 law enforcement agencies in a nationwide effort to enforce seat belt laws. The Click it or Ticket Mobilization starts May 14th and continues through the Memorial Day weekend to June 6th 2010. The enforcement blitz comes as new data show that more men and women die in traffic crashes than any other cause. Buffalo Grove police will start special enforcement zone beginning May 1, 2010
During this latest Click It or Ticket campaign, officers will intensify their enforcement of child passenger safety laws, seatbelt laws and impaired driving laws throughout the holiday period. The Department will be conducting several seat belt enforcement saturation patrols and check points throughout the month of May.

Last year, Buffalo Grove officers issued 561 seat belt citations and 19 child passenger safety citations during the 78-hour Memorial holiday reporting period alone. "We participate in these mobilizations because they save lives," said Sergeant Scott Kristiansen of the Traffic Division. Teens will continue to be a key target of our efforts. Fatality rates for teens are twice that of older drivers, and the risk of crashes for teens is four times that of older drivers.

This year, approximately 8,000 Americans, adults and children, will die in crashes simply because they failed to buckle their seat belts. Safety belts save an estimated 14,000 lives each year and save about $50 billion in medical care, lost productivity, and other injury-related costs nationwide.
The simplest and most effective action a driver or occupant can do to save their life is to spend two seconds and buckle a seat belt.

Buffalo Grove's participation in the safety belt campaign is funded by a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
