From May 22-31, the Saline County Sheriff's Office conducted overtime saturation patrols to aggressively enforce Kansas occupant restraint, texting, impaired driving, and other traffic laws as a part of the nationwide Click It or Ticket campaign.
Now the results of those efforts are in.
According to information provided by the sheriff's office, deputies wrote 234 safety belt citations, six child restraint citations, and 27 other citations. Additionally, they made seven arrests and 256 vehicle stops during the campaign.
"We are here to enforce Kansas traffic laws and, ultimately, to decrease unsafe driving behavior. If you were stopped, we hope you learned from the experience. If so, we have made the roads a little safer for you and those you share the road with. We will continue to do that because, while the 2021 Click It or Ticket campaign may be over, traffic enforcement never is," said Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan.
Participation by the Saline County Sheriff's Office in the campaign was supported by a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation.
