"Click It or Ticket" This Memorial Day Weekend

The Lombard Police announced it is stepping up enforcement for the Memorial Day “Click It or Ticket” campaign that will run May 19-30 and reminds motorists to buckle up for safety. The “Click It or Ticket” campaign focuses on safety education and law enforcement to save lives.

“Seat belts have proven to be life-saving in the event of a crash,” said Administrative/Traffic Sergeant Tom Balsitis. “Unfortunately, many still don’t buckle up. Worse yet, not wearing a seat belt is a habit that can be passed on to younger generations who follow the example set by their elders.”
